China National Tobacco Corporation (中国烟草总公司), branded as China Tobacco (中国烟草), is a national key state-owned corporation with chartered monopoly status in China to manufacture and sell tobacco products.

The State Tobacco Monopoly Administration (国家烟草专卖局) is a Chinese government agency responsible for national tobacco monopoly regulation. Under the policy of one institution with two names, the two agencies are co-located in the same office and share the same website.[1]

China Tobacco enjoys a legal monopoly in the country,[2] accounting for 96% of cigarette sales in the country, and is the world's largest manufacturer of tobacco products measured by revenues. It exports a small proportion of its production, mostly to Asian markets.
