Central Yunnan (Chinese: 滇中) refers to the region of Yunnan province, China, consisting of Kunming, Dali, Chuxiong, Yuxi, and 7 counties of northern Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture (Mengzi, Gejiu, Jianshui, Kaiyuan, Mile, Luxi, and Shiping). It accounts for 44.1% of Yunnan's population, and 61.6% of the province's GDP.^[1]

The region is considered poor for urban agglomerations in China, suffering from water shortage and limited infrastructure.^[1][2] Government plans call for urbanization of the region, and linking Kunming and Yuxi into one large agglomeration.^[3]

Geographically, Central Yunnan is relatively flat compared to the rest of Yunnan and has a larger area of arable land.^[4]

In 2015, the State Council approved the Central Yunnan New Area.^[5]
