Ying Prefecture (Anhui)

Yingzhou or Ying Prefecture (Chinese: 潁州) was a zhou (prefecture) in Imperial China in modern-day northwestern Anhui, seated in modern Fuyang. In 1735, the Qing dynasty renamed it to Yingzhou Prefecture (潁州府). It existed intermittently from 528 until 1912.

The modern-day Yingzhou District in Fuyang retains its name.
