BenQ Corporation (IPA: /bɛn kju:/; Chinese: 明基電通股份有限公司) is a Taiwan-based company specializing in the manufacturing of computing, communications, and consumer electronics devices.

The name reflects their corporate motto or vision: Bringing Enjoyment and Quality to life.

The company was established in 1984, initially known as Continental Systems Inc., then Acer CM (Communications and Multimedia), and finally rebranded as BenQ in December 2001.

BenQ manufactures technology products, including communication and personal computer related products. Its principal products include TFT LCD monitors, LCD TVs, scanners and printers, digital cameras, projectors, laptops, computer keyboards, mice, and mobile phones.

The head office is located in Taoyuan, Taiwan, and the company operates worldwide. BenQ owns and operates seventy-four branch offices, and employ over 15,000+ individuals. Three business groups manage BenQ's product lines: Computing Products Business Group, Digital Media Business Group and BenQ Mobile Business Group.

On October 1, 2005, BenQ acquired the mobile devices division of Germany's Siemens AG, becoming the 6th largest company in the mobile phone industry by accumulated market share. The acquisition results in a new business group, BenQ Mobile, of BenQ Corporation entirely dedicated to wireless communications. Mobile phones of the new group are marketed under a new brand, BenQ-Siemens.

On August 24, 2006 BenQ announced plans to spin-off its manufacturing operations in early 2007, separating contract manufacturing and own-brand divisions.

In late September 2006, the mobile devices division BenQ Mobile (Germany) announced bankruptcy. BenQ faced criticism from German politicians and its own employees.

BenQ Corporation is part of the BenQ Group, which also includes AU Optronics.
