Hanjiang District is one of the three districts of Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, in eastern China. It is one of the two districts (along with Guangling District) that divide the prefecture's urbanized core. It includes roughly the western half of Yangzhou's central city and adjacent suburbs. The Yangtze River and the Grand Canal of China serve as the district's principal southern and eastern borders.

In the past, the northern part of Yangzhou's main urban area constituted the separate Weiyang District but, in late 2011, Weiyang District was abolished and merged into Hanjiang.
