Qianyang County ({{zh|s=千阳县 |t=千陽縣 |p=Qiānyáng Xiàn}}) is a county in the west of Shaanxi province, China, bordering Gansu province to the north. It is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Baoji.
Established in 570 as {{lang|zh|汧陽}} (also pronounced Qianyang), in October 1964, in order to avoid rare characters, the name was changed to its current writing. Since then, where the name of the place is "Shaanxi", all use "Qian".{{Cite web|date=2017-03-22|title=宝鸡市地名由来及历史沿革|url=http://www.longxian.gov.cn/info/4897/35254.htm|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200321175511/http://www.longxian.gov.cn/info/4897/35254.htm|archive-date=2020-03-21|access-date=2020-03-21|work=www.longxian.gov.cn|publisher=陇县人民政府}}
