Jiawang District (simplified Chinese: 贾汪区; traditional Chinese: 賈汪區; pinyin: Jiǎwāng Qū) is a suburban district of Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, China. It is located in the northern part of Xuzhou and adjacent to the prefecture-level city of Zaozhuang, Shandong in the north.
Originally a coal town and later a specialized industrial and mining area, Jiawang's economy was centered on coal production until the 2000s. The district initiated an economic diversification program alongside environmental remediation of legacy mining subsidence areas. In 2019, the State Council of China cited Jiawang as a model case for the redevelopment of resource-exhausted regions.
