Huangzhou or Huang Prefecture was a zhou (prefecture) in imperial China, centering on modern Huangzhou District, Huanggang, Hubei, China. It existed (intermittently) from 585 until 1279.
The modern district, created in 1996 (although it also existed between 1984 and 1987 under the administration of Ezhou), retains its name.
