Xikang or Sikang (西康省 Xīkāng Shěng), is a defunct province of the Republic of China, comprising most of the Kham region of traditional Tibet. Xikang was a "Special Administrative District" until 1939, when it became an official province. The provincial capital was Kangding.
In 1950, following the defeat of the Kuomintang by the Communists in the Chinese Civil War, Xikang was split along the Yangtze River into Xikang to the east and a separate Qamdo Territory (昌都地区) to the west. Qamdo was merged into Tibet Autonomous Region in 1965. The rest of Xikang was merged into Sichuan province in 1955.
