Hailun () is a city in west-central Heilongjiang province, People's Republic of China. Administratively, it is a county-level city under Suihua City.

==History== ===Before the Qing dynasty=== Hailun was one of the earliest centrally governed counties in Heilongjiang Province. The city was named after the Hailun River, which runs through it. The name Hailun is a variation of a Manchu word that sounds like "kailing", which means "otter". This name was chosen due to the abundance of otters inhabiting the nearby river. The area around Hailun was initially ruled by the Manchu people and was administrated from Hulan City for much of the Manchu Qing dynasty.
