Longquanyi District (Chinese: 龙泉驿区; pinyin: Lóngquányì Qū) is a district of the City of Chengdu, capital of Sichuan, China. Longquan District covers parts of the southeastern suburbs.

The population is over half a million. It borders the prefecture-level city of Ziyang to the southeast. Longquanyi has been designated as a high-tech development district, with investment mainly focused in the urban areas.

Many hillsides that have been used to farm will be converted by the local government to forest areas, as the district finds tourism more profitable than trying to grow crops on mountainsides.
