Tanghekou Town (simplified Chinese: 汤河口镇; traditional Chinese: 湯河口鎮; pinyin: Tānghékǒu Zhèn), is a town in the northern side of Huairou District, Beijing, China. It shares border with Labagoumen and Changshaoying Manchu Ethnic Townships to the northeast, Shicheng and Liulimiao Towns to the south, and Baoshan Town to the southwest. In 2020 it had a total population of 5,445.[1] Its name Tanghekou literally means "North House".

The town is situated inside a river valley, around the confluence of Bai River and Tang River. For this reason it receives its name Tanghekou (Chinese: 汤河口; lit. 'Mouth of Tang River').[2]
