Qingzhou () Wade–Giles: Tsing-chou, sometimes written as Ching-chow-fu, formerly Yidu County (Yitu, ), is a county-level city, which is located in the west of the prefecture-level city of Weifang, in the central part of Shandong Province, China. Qingzhou is a dynamic industry city, and also grows a great number of farm products. The local government holds an open policy of introduction of foreign capital, and has established strong business relationships with more than fifty countries and regions.

Qingzhou's historical heritages were highly praised and celebrated. In 2008, the Qingzhou Museum was recognized by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage as one of the first branch of national first-class museums, making it the only county-level city to possess such a museum. In 2009, Qingzhou’s Zhaode Ancient Street (昭德古街) was included in the first list of "China’s Historic and Cultural Streets". On November 18, 2013, the State Council officially designated Qingzhou as a National Famous Historical and Cultural City. In 2017, the Ancient City of Qingzhou was rated as a national 5A-level tourist attraction.
