Liangzhe Circuit or Liangzhe Province was one of the major circuits during the Song dynasty. In 1074 it was divided into 2 circuits: Liangzhe East Circuit and Liangzhe West Circuit; they were recombined in 1076 but split again in 1077.

Its administrative area corresponds to roughly the modern provinces of Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu, as well as the modern metropolitan Shanghai.
