Zhuozhou (Chinese: 涿州; pinyin: Zhuōzhōu; Wade–Giles: Cho1-chou1), is a county-level city with 628,000 inhabitants in central Hebei province, southwest of Beijing.

In 1928, the city was the site of a fierce battle between the forces of Fengtien clique warlord Chang Tso-lin and those of the Kuomintang's National Revolutionary Army, with the city falling to the Fengtien after eighty-six days of heavy bombardment.

In September 1937, General Count Hisaichi Terauchi, commander-in-chief of the North China Area Army, sent a column of mechanised infantry supported by cavalry to cut the Jinghan railway at Zhuozhou.

It was heavily impacted by the 2023 China floods, and more than a sixth of the city's 600,000 residents had to evacuate.
