Nankou Area (simplified Chinese: 南口地区; traditional Chinese: 南口地區; pinyin: Nánkǒu Dìqū) is an area and a town situated on the northwestern corner of Changping District, Beijing, China. Bounded by part of Taihang Mountain Range in its north and west, Nankou borders Badaling and Jingzhuang Towns in its north, Chengnan Subdistrict and Shisanling Town in its east, Machikou and Liucun Towns in its south, and Ruiyunguan Township in its west. In 2020, it had 82,146 people under its administration.[1]

The area got its name Nankou (Chinese: 南口; lit. 'Southern Gate'), from a fortified pass south of Juyong Pass.[2]
