The first quake, which shook buildings in the capital Taipei, had a depth of 15 km (9.3 miles) with its epicentre in Hualien county on Taiwan's eastern coast, the island's weather bureau said.
The second quake, three minutes after the first one, had a depth of 14 km, also with its epicentre in Hualien, it added.
The transport ministry said operations on the island's high speed rail line, which runs on Taiwan's western coast, were unaffected, while the fire department said it had not received any reports of damage.
