Fufeng County (simplified Chinese: 扶风县; traditional Chinese: 扶風縣; pinyin: Fúfēng Xiàn) is a county under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Baoji, in the west-central part of Shaanxi Province, China. The county lies in the fertile Guanzhong Plain on the north bank of the Wei River between Xi'an, 110 km (68 mi) to the east, and Baoji, 95 km (59 mi) to the west. It has a land area of 751 km2 (290 sq mi), and a population of 450,000 as of 2021.[1]

The township of Famen contains the Famen Temple and Zhouyuan Museum (in Zhaochen Village). The Zhouyuan Museum covers archeological excavations of bronzeware from the Zhou dynasty which were discovered nearby.[2][3] A Zhou dynasty capital was located here during the late 11th century.[4] Nowadays Fufeng is mostly reliant on agriculture.[5]
