'''Fenyang''' ({{zh|s=汾阳市 |t=汾陽市 |p=Fényáng Shì}}), formerly as '''Fenyang County''' ({{zh|labels=no |s=汾阳县}}) before 1996, is a [[county-level city]] under the administration of [[Lüliang]] [[prefecture-level city]], in [[Shanxi]] Province, China.
[[File:Txu-oclc-10552568-nj49-11.jpg|thumb|left|Map including Fenyang (labeled as {{lang|zh-hant|汾陽}} FEN-YANG (walled)) ([[Army Map Service|AMS]], 1955)]]
Fenyang is located in the wide valley of the [[Fen River]], some 20-plus kilometers west of the actual river.
Fenyang was the birthplace of [[Jia Zhangke]], who filmed 1997 ''[[Xiao Wu]]'' there. ''[[Platform (2000 film)|Platform]]'' is set from the end of the 1970s to the beginning of the 1990s in and around Fenyang. Subsequently, ''[[Mountains May Depart]]'' features scenes set in Fenyang in 1999 and 2014. Fengyang is also the birthplace of Guo Qinglan ({{zh|labels=no |s={{linktext|郭|庆|兰}}|p=Guō Qìnglán}}), the widow of [[Dwarkanath Kotnis]].
Fenyang has a strong reputation within Shanxi for the production of Fenjiu ({{zh|labels=no |c=汾酒 |p=fénjiǔ}}), a type of [[Baijiu]] known for its superior flavor.
