Xunwu County (simplified Chinese: 寻乌县; traditional Chinese: 尋烏縣; pinyin: Xúnwū Xiàn) is a county in the far south of Jiangxi province, People's Republic of China, bordering the provinces of Fujian to the east and Guangdong to the south. It is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Ganzhou.

It was the focus of Mao Zedong's 1930 essay Report from Xunwu which surveyed conditions in the region and related them to Mao's developing theory of Chinese communism.[1]
