Chiefdom of Bathang (Tibetan: འབའ་ཐང་, Wylie: vbav thang), or Chiefdom of Batang (Chinese: 巴塘土司), was an autonomous Tusi chiefdom that ruled Bathang (present day Batang County of Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture) during the Qing dynasty period.
Bathang belonged to the Chiefdom of Lijiang during the Ming dynasty period.
[1] Bathang, Lithang, Chakla and Derge were called the "Four Great Native Chiefdoms in Kham" (康区四大土司) by the Chinese.
[1] Under the inspiration of Guangxu's expansion policy, many Chinese migrated to Kham.
In 1905, Bathang murdered a Chinese official Fengquan (鳳全).
