Huadu District is one of 11 urban districts of the prefecture-level city of Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong, China. It is located in the far northern suburbs of the city.

Xinhua Town is the seat of local government, and of the district CCP committee.^[2]

While the Cantonese dialect is universally spoken, about 1/3 of the population consists of Hakka dialect speaking peoples.^[3] The district is the ancestral home of many Overseas Chinese.

Formerly known as Hua County, it was the hometown of many Taiping Rebellion leaders like Hong Xiuquan and Hong Rengan.
