Beijing's Chongwen District/Precinct (simplified Chinese: 崇文区; traditional Chinese: 崇文區; pinyin: Chóngwén Qū) is located southeast relative to city center (Tiananmen), and is situated between Yongdingmen and Qianmen. It spans an area of 16.46 square kilometers and its population, at present, has reached over 430,000 individuals (346,205 in 2000 Census). Although not outlying, Chongwen Precinct is among one of Beijing's more compact precincts, with per capita area being considerably less than others. Its rather meagre size makes it the smallest of the four districts which used to comprise the old city. Before the communist takeover, Chongwen and Xuanwu Districts were the two precincts with large number of residents who lived in poverty.

Chongwen Precinct is renowned for The Temple of Heaven and Longtan Park, as well as housing both Quanjude and Bianyifang, the two original (and still most authentic) Peking Roast Duck restaurants.

The Beijing Subway station Chongwenmen is located in this precinct.

Its postcode is 100061.
