Fuling District (Chinese: 涪陵区; pinyin: Fúlíng Qū) is a district in central Chongqing, China. As the second largest district in Chongqing, the area is known for zha cai, a hot pickled mustard tuber, as well as serving as the location of former U.S. Peace Corps teacher Peter Hessler's best-selling memoir River Town: Two Years on the Yangtze.

The district spans an area of 2,941.46 square kilometres (1,135.70 mi²), and has a population of 1,115,016, per the 2020 Chinese Census. The district's area spans from latitude 29°21' to 30°01' north, and longitude 106°56' to 107°43' east.

According to the district's government, the area comprising contemporary Fuling District has been inhabited since approximately 3000 BCE.

During the Spring and Autumn period, the area was inhabited by the Baipu people [zh]. From the middle and late part of Spring and Autumn period, through to the middle of the Warring States period, the area belonged to the State of Ba. The area was at some point the site of one of the Ba's capitals, and a Ba king is buried within the area. During the middle and latter part of the Warring States period, the area belonged to the State of Chu.

Following the State of Chu, the area was incorporated into the Qin dynasty as the Ba Commandery. The area reorganized in 227 BCE, under the rule of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, as Zhi County [zh].

During the Eastern Han, Zhi County was merged into Pingdu County [zh].

In the Three Kingdoms period, the area was ruled by the Shu Han, and organized as Hanping County (simplified Chinese: 汉平县; traditional Chinese: 漢平縣; pinyin: Hànpíng Xiàn). Hanping County was subordinate to the Fuling Commandery [zh], whose capital was located in present-day Yushan [zh] in the nearby Pengshui Miao and Tujia Autonomous County, to the southeast of Fuling District.

In 347 CE, under the Eastern Jin, the area was again reorganized as Fu Commandery (Chinese: 涪郡; pinyin: Fú Jùn), which was also known as Zhicheng Commandery (Chinese: 枳城郡; pinyin: Zhǐchéng Jùn).
