Shaan–Gan–Ning or in postal romanization Shen–Kan–Ning (traditional Chinese: 陝甘寧邊區; simplified Chinese: 陕甘宁边区; pinyin: Shǎn-Gān-Níng Biānqū) was a historical proto-state that was formed by the Chinese Communist Party following the collapse of the Chinese Soviet Republic in agreement with the Kuomintang as a part of the Second United Front policy, substituting the former anti-Kuomintang Soviets.

It was one of the two border region governments with the capital at Yan'an, named after the provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia with some parts incorporated from Suiyuan province which is now part of Inner Mongolia. Later, the second region that was created was known as the  [zh] (晉察冀邊區; 晋察冀边区; Jìn-Chá-Jì Biānqū). It is lesser known because the name refers to the old geographic realities, which were Shanxi, Chahar, and Hebei, respectively.
