Mei County or Meixian (simplified Chinese: 眉县; traditional Chinese: 眉縣; pinyin: Méi Xiàn) is a county under the jurisdiction of the prefecture-level city of Baoji, in the west of Shaanxi province, China.

During the Eastern Han dynasty it became known as Yinwu.[1] In 2003, 27 Zhou culture bronze ding vessels an other bronzeware were found in Lijia village of Mei County.[2]
