Xinghua (simplified Chinese: 兴化; traditional Chinese: 興化; pinyin: Xīnghuà) is a county-level city under the administration of Taizhou, Jiangsu province, China.

It borders the prefecture-level cities of Yancheng to the north and east and Yangzhou to the west.

Xinghua's name (兴化) is the abbreviation for "兴盛教化" (xīngshèng jiàohuà) which means "prospering (the Confucian) teaching".

[4] In 920, the Yang Wu state of the Ten Kingdoms separated the northern part of the then Hailing county to establish Xinghua county.

The area was under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou until 1996, and then reassign to Taizhou, Jiangsu.
