Kunshan (Simplified Chinese: 昆山; Hanyu Pinyin: Kūnshān; Wade-Giles: K'un-shan) is a county-level city in Suzhou prefecture-level city in southeast Jiangsu, China, just outside Shanghai. It currently ranks as the most economically successful county in China. It is culturally significant as the origin of Kunshan diao, the melody which ultimately evolved into Kunqu, China's oldest extant theatre art.

It is known as the birthplace of Gong Xian, Soong Ching-ling, and Chris Chen.
