Nanhui (南汇区 Nánhuì Qū) is the Southern part of the Pudong New Area in Shanghai.

Nanhui is much less developed than the Downtown Pudong area to the North, but still populous (about a million in the 2010 census), industrialized and growing. However, it is not densely populated compared to more central regions of Shanghai; the land area is quite large.

Within Nanhui are a number of areas with their own distinctive character.
