Lin'an District (simplified Chinese: 临安区; traditional Chinese: 臨安區; pinyin: Lín'ān Qū) is one of ten urban districts of the prefecture-level city of Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province, East China. It is located in northwest Zhejiang as a separate urban area of Hangzhou, and borders Anhui province to the west and northwest. Lin'an held a population of 573,100 in 2014, over an area of 3,124 km2 (1,206 sq mi). The postal code is 311300, and the phone area code 0571.

May 2015, Lin'an was listed as the Top 100 Economic Potential City/County, ranking 73. Lin'an also voted as No. 16 Innovative County. After the promotion of Fuyang District, Lin'an was converted into the 10th district of Hangzhou in July 2017[citation needed]. The Lin'an government is located at 398 Yijin Street.

Lin'an is rich in natural resources, abundant in rainfall, and has a warm climate. All of these factors work together allowing the district to be covered with 71.3% forest. Such an ecological environment breeds more than 4,700 biological species. Mountains, lakes, forest, hot springs, caves, and other ancient remains are everywhere. The district's Daming Mountain and Tianmu Mountain are its well-known attractions.
