印，執政所持信也。總兵是清治時期臺灣的最高武官，具有上奏權，因此在清宮檔案中留下許多可貴的官方史料，可作為研究清代臺灣政治與社會的重要線索。本文試從臺灣歷史的觀點出發，並參照清代實施的官印制度，檢視清宮所藏官文書及一些地方檔案的總兵用印，如〈內閣大庫檔案〉、〈淡新檔案〉、〈岸裡大社文書〉等，整理、介紹各時期的臺灣及澎湖總兵印信。

An official seal is a form of written identification used by officials to authenticate documents. In Qing Taiwan, a division commander was the highest ranking military officer and had to report directly to the Emperor. These reports, archived as imperial palace records, offer valuable historical materials for research on the politics and society of Taiwan under Qing rule. Through examining these records from archives including Grand Secretariat Archives, Tan-Hsin Archives, and Lahodoboo Settlement Archives, this article attempts to survey and categorize the official seals imprinted on the historical documents by division commanders of both Taiwan and Penghu in different periods of the Qing era.
