Yingtan (simplified Chinese: 鹰潭; traditional Chinese: 鷹潭; pinyin: Yīngtán; lit. 'Eagle Pond') is a prefecture-level city in the east of Jiangxi province, People's Republic of China, bordering Fujian to the southeast. Its location near the trisection of Jiangxi, Fujian, and Zhejiang has made it a strategically important city for centuries. Today, it continues to be a major rail transport hub. It is best known as the Capital of Copper, and located here is Jiangxi Copper and its the Guixi Smelter.

Near the city of Yingtan is the resort area of Mount Longhu, which purports to be the birthplace of Taoism and hence, has great symbolic value to Taoists. The region has many interesting temples, cave complexes, mountains, and villages.

The municipal executive, legislature, and judiciary are in Yuehu District (月湖区), together with the CPC and Public Security bureaus.
