Dengzhi (Chinese: 鄧至), also known as the Dengzhi Qiang (鄧至羌) and Baishui Qiang (白水羌), was a state established by the Qiang ethnic group that existed during the Northern and Southern dynasties period in China. It was located west of Chouchi and south of Dangchang, which is equivalent to the northern part of present-day Sichuan, China. Its capital was Dengzhi City (west of modern day Jiuzhaigou County, Sichuan), and their rulers all had the surname "Xiang" (像/象).
