Jiangnan (Chinese: 江南; pinyin: Jiāngnán) is a subdistrict (街道) in Meijiang District, Meizhou, Guangdong, China.
The municipal government, Intermediate Court and CPC and PSB bureaux are housed here.
Jiangnan and its sister Jiangbei were long the urban core of the famous Meixian County, from which both Districts were carved according to the new systems of territorial administration following Liberation. Both names refer to the Meijiang River (梅江), which forms a great ox-bow here. Jiangnan, meaning "south bank" is on the right as one proceeds downstream, Jiangbei is on the left.
The two districts are joined by many road and foot bridges.
