Jingjiang () is a county-level city under the administration of Taizhou, Jiangsu province, China. It is located on the northern (left) bank of the Yangtze River, and is the southernmost part of Taizhou City, bordering Nantong to the northeast, Suzhou to the southeast, Wuxi to the south, Changzhou to the southwest, and Zhenjiang to the west. The area of Jingjiang is 655.6 square kilometres and the population was 663,408 at the 2020 census.
== History == The modern terrain of Jingjiang originated as a sandbank in the Yangtze River known as Matuosha. After the shoal was extended, it was separated from Jiangyin county to form a new county in 1471. After being looted by Wokou several times, it was designated Jiangjiang, meaning "pacifying the Yangtze River".
