Zhongguancun Subdistrict (Chinese: 中关村街道; pinyin: Zhōngguāncūn Jiēdào) is a subdistrict on the southeast of Haidian District, Beijing, China. It shares border with Qinghuayuan Subdistrict and Dongsheng Town in the north, Xueyuan Road, Huayuan Road and Beitaipingzhuang Subdistricts in the east, Beixiaguan Subdistrict in the south, Haidian and Yanyuan Subdistricts in the west. It had 130,672 inhabitants in 2020.[1]

During the Ming dynasty, this area was used as a burial ground for eunuchs, thus was given the name Zhongguanfen (Chinese: 中官坟; lit. 'Eunuch Tomb'). Later settlements in this region also use the name Zhongguan, which was changed to Zhongguancun (Chinese: 中关村) in 1949.[2]
