Donglan County (simplified Chinese: 东兰县; traditional Chinese: 東蘭縣; pinyin: Dōnglán Xiàn, Zhuang: Dunghlanz Yen) is a county of northwest Guangxi, China. It is under the administration of Hechi City.

Donglan County has given its name to the Donglan golden-line barbel (Sinocyclocheilus donglanensis), a small fish that is only known from one cave in Donglan.[1][2]
