Majiapu Subdistrict (Chinese: 马家堡街道; pinyin: Mǎjiāpù Jiēdào) is a subdistrict on the eastern part of Fengtai District, Beijing, China. It borders Xiluoyuan Subdistrict to the north, Xiluoyuan and Dahongmen Subdistricts to the east, Nanyuan Township to the south, Xincun Subdistrict and Huaxiang Township to the west. As of 2020, it has a total population of 111,470.[1]

The name of the subdistrict, Majiapu (Chinese: 马家堡; lit. 'Ma Family Town'), is from a tavern that was owned by Ma brothers around the end of Ming dynasty. It came to be known as Majiapu as it developed during the reign of Qianlong Emperor, and the name was later corrupted to Majiapu.[2]
