Xing'an (Chinese: 興安省; pinyin: Xīng'ān shěng; or Hsingan) refers to a former province, which once occupied western Heilongjiang and part of northwest Jilin provinces of China. The name is related to that of the Greater Khingan Mountains. Another name used for this land was Barga, which is also the name used for the western part of the province, the Barga district.
