Jiande is a county-level city of Zhejiang Province, East China, it is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Hangzhou.

==History== During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jiande was the capital of Yanzhou Prefecture. On account of this, Jiande was often referred to as Yanzhou Fu (). A transcription commonly seen in both French and English writing of the time was Yen-tcheou-fou, derived from French missionary writing.
