Hengqin (simplified Chinese: 横琴岛; traditional Chinese: 橫琴島, Portuguese: Ilha da Montanha) is an island that lies mostly in Zhuhai, a prefecture-level city and special economic zone in Guangdong Province of China. It has a population of about 3,000. Parts of Hengqin are leased to Macau by the State Council of the People's Republic of China, starting from 2009, mostly to house the new campus of the University of Macau. In the leased parts of the island, Macanese law applies.
The whole island is designated a special economic district, as the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin.
