'''East China''' or '''Eastern China''' ({{zh-stp|s=华东|t=華東|p=Huádōng}}) is a geographical and a loosely-defined cultural region that covers the eastern coastal area of [[China]].

Although an intangible and loosely defined concept, for administrative and governmental purposes, the region is defined by the government of the [[People's Republic of China]] to include the [[Provinces of China|provinces]] of (in alphabetical order) [[Anhui]], parts of [[Fujian]], [[Jiangsu]], [[Jiangxi]], [[Shandong]] and [[Zhejiang]], as well as the [[municipality of China|municipality]] of [[Shanghai]].

The PRC lays claim over the [[Taiwan Province (People's Republic of China)|Taiwan Province]] and parts of Fujian (also spelt Fukien or Fuchien), which are also defined as part of eastern China by the PRC. However, they are administered by the [[Republic of China]].
