Qichun County (simplified Chinese: 蕲春; traditional Chinese: 蘄春; pinyin: Qíchūn Xiàn) is a county of eastern Hubei province, People's Republic of China. It is under the administration of Huanggang City.

Qichun County has been a major historical center of traditional Chinese medicine.[2] It is known in China as the "Professor County" (Chinese: 教授县; pinyin: Jiàoshòu Xiàn), due to the high amount of professors and other academic experts hailing from the county.[2]
