Luyi County (simplified Chinese: 鹿邑县; traditional Chinese: 鹿邑縣; pinyin: Lùyì Xiàn) is a county of eastern Henan, People's Republic of China, bordering Anhui province to the east. It is under the administration of Zhoukou City.

The county is known for its make-up brushes production, with over 150 million brushes produced annually. This industry started concentrating in Luyi in the 2010s, the county already had a wool processing industry before.[3][4][5]

According to Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian, the village of Quren (曲仁里, Qūrén lǐ) in Li township (厲鄉, Lì xiāng) in Chu's Ku County (苦縣, Kǔ xiàn) was the birthplace of the legendary philosopher Laozi.[6] This lies within what is now Luyi. During the Song dynasty the Taiqing Palace was built in Luyi, an important Taoist shrine. Although it only exists as ruins nowadays, it remains an important religious and archeological site.[7][8]

According to some historians, the Battle of Gaixia took place in what is now Luyi County.[9][10]
