Anhai{{efn|Formerly romanized as Ganhai, Gan-hai,{{citation needed|date=November 2016}} Nganhai.{{cite EB1911 |mode=cs2 |wstitle=Chinchew |volume=6 |page=231 }}}} is a town in southern Fujian province or Minnan, People's Republic of China. It is located in the far southern suburbs of the Quanzhou metropolitan area and is separated by Weitou Bay ({{zh|s=围头湾|t=圍頭灣|poj=Ûi-thâu-oân}}) from Kinmen, which is controlled by the Republic of China on Taiwan. Administratively, Anhai is part of Jinjiang County-level City, which in its turn is subordinated to Quanzhou.

The highest point in the town's administrative area is Mount Língyuán ({{zh|s=灵源山|t=靈源山|poj=Lêng-goân-soaⁿ}}) at {{convert|305|m}}.
