'''Yiling District''' ({{zh|s={{linktext|夷陵|区}} |t={{linktext|夷陵|區}} |p=Yílíng Qū}}) is a district of the prefecture-level city of Yichang, Hubei province, People's Republic of China. Created on July 30, 2001,<ref name="xzqhyl"/> the district includes most of the former Yichang County, with the exception of Yichang center city (which forms Xiling District) and certain southern and western suburbs.

The district's seat of government is on the northern outskirts of Yichang urban area.

Both Gezhouba Dam and the Three Gorges Dam are located within the district.

The Xiling Bridge spans the Changjiang (Yangtze River) in the western part of Yiling District, connecting the towns of Letianxi and Sandouping on the northern and southern sides of the river. To add to the confusion, Yiling Bridge is ''not'' within Yiling District—rather, it connects the center-city Xiling District with Dianjun District south of the river.

==Administrative divisions== The district is divided into 9 towns, 2 townships, and 2 subdistricts:<ref name="xzqhyl">{{cite web |url=http://www.xzqh.org/html/show/hb/15328.html |script-title=zh:夷陵区历史沿革 |trans-title=Yiling District Historical Development | publisher=XZQH.org | language = zh-hans|date=14 July 2014 |access-date=17 October 2018 |quote={{lang|zh-hans|2001年3月22日，国务院（国函[2001]28号）批准同意：（1）撤销宜昌县，设立宜昌市夷陵区（7月30日正式实施），以原宜昌县的行政区域（不包括土城乡、桥边镇、艾家镇）为夷陵区的行政区域。区政府驻小溪塔镇。{...}2010年第六次人口普查，夷陵区常住总人口520186人，其中：小溪塔街道办133704人，樟村坪镇23342人，雾渡河镇33074人，分乡镇35761人，太平溪镇23979人，三斗坪镇29494人，乐天溪镇24979人，龙泉镇50265人，鸦鹊岭镇56089人，下堡坪乡20614人，邓村乡24520人，黄花乡33254人，三峡坝区1500人，夷陵经济开发区29611人。全区现辖1个街道、9个镇、2个乡：小溪塔街道、樟村坪镇、雾渡河镇、分乡镇、太平溪镇、三斗坪镇、乐天溪镇、龙泉镇、鸦鹊岭镇、黄花镇、下堡坪乡、邓村乡。}}}}</ref><ref name="statyl">{{cite web |url=http://www.stats.gov.cn/tjsj/tjbz/tjyqhdmhcxhfdm/2017/42/05/420506.html |script-title=zh:2017年统计用区划代码和城乡划分代码：夷陵区 |trans-title=2017 Statistical Area Numbers and Rural-Urban Area Numbers: Yiling District |publisher=National Bureau of Statistics of the People's Republic of China |date=2017 |access-date=17 October 2018 |quote={{lang|zh-hans|统计用区划代码名称 420506001000 小溪塔街道办 420506002000 夷陵经济开发区办事处 420506101000 樟村坪镇 420506102000 雾渡河镇 420506103000 分乡镇 420506104000 太平溪镇 420506105000 三斗坪镇 420506106000 乐天溪镇 420506107000 龙泉镇 420506108000 鸦鹊岭镇 420506109000 黄花镇 420506201000 下堡坪乡 420506202000 邓村乡 420506401000 三峡坝区|}}}}</ref><ref name="govyl">{{cite web |url=http://files.10.gov.cn/statics/images/10gov/mlyl_019.gif |script-title=zh:行政区划 |trans-title=Administrative Divisions |language=zh-hans |publisher=Yiling People's Government |quote=[From West to East:] {{lang|zh-hans|太平溪邓村三斗坪乐天溪下堡坪雾渡河樟村坪小溪塔黄花泉龙分乡鸦鹊岭}} |access-date=17 October 2018 |archive-date=2 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170802185617/http://files.10.gov.cn/statics/images/10gov/mlyl_019.gif |url-status=dead }}</ref>
