Wretch (Chinese: 無 名 小 站; pinyin: wúmíng xiǎo zhàn) was a Taiwanese community website. In Chinese, its name means Nameless Little Site.

Wretch provided free photo album, and blog hosting services. Four languages, including English, were available. A more extensive VIP version was offered.

The domain wretch.cc attracted at least 4 million visitors annually by 2008 according to a Compete.com survey.[1]

In July 2007, Yahoo acquired Wretch for $22 million; this became the biggest acquisition of Yahoo in Taiwan since Kimo.[2][3][4]

Wretch.cc has been blocked by the internet censorship in the People's Republic of China since August 2007.[5]

On 30 August 2013, Yahoo announced Wretch would be closed on 26 December, along with Yahoo! Blog.[6]

Yahoo released an iOS mobile app for Wretch.
