The Hongshan culture was a Neolithic culture in northeastern China. Hongshan sites have been found in an area stretching from Inner Mongolia to Liaoning, and dated from 4700 to 2900 BC.

The culture is named after Hongshanhou, a site in Hongshan District, Chifeng. The Hongshanhou site was discovered in 1908 and extensively excavated in 1935.

Suggested by evidence found at early Yangshao culture sites, Hongshan culture sites also provide the earliest evidence for feng shui. The presence of both round and square shapes at Hongshan culture ceremonial centers suggests an early presence of the gaitian cosmography ("round heaven, square earth"). Early feng shui relied on astronomy to find correlations between humans and the universe.

Hongshan culture is believed to have exerted an influence on the development of early Chinese civilization. The culture may also have contributed to the development of settlements in ancient Korea.
