Beitun District (Chinese: 北屯區; pinyin: Běitún Qū; Wade–Giles: Pei³-t'un² Ch'ü¹; lit: northern camp) is a district in Taichung, Taiwan. Located in the northern part of the city, it is a half mountainous, half urban area. Though Beitun District used to be considered part of the countryside, the new Taiyuan Station has urbanized it considerably. The highest point of Taichung City is located in Beitun, Touke Mountain (859 m).

The district used to be part of Taichung provincial city before the merger with Taichung County to form Taichung special municipality on 25 December 2010.

Beitun District is divided into 42 Li (里, or villages):^[1]
