Nantong Gangzha Economic Development Zone is in the northwest part of Nantong, East China's Jiangsu province. It was approved by Jiangsu Provincial People's Government in 1993 to be established as a provincial economic zone.

Covering 40 square kilometers, Gangzha Economic Development Zone has direct jurisdiction over two subdistricts, Yongxing and Yianshenggang, and 21 villages (communities).

By the end of 2019, the zone had a permanent population of about 100,000.
