Xibeiwang Town (Chinese: 西北旺镇; pinyin: Xīběiwàng Zhèn) is a town on the northeast of Haidian District, Beijing, China. It borders Shigezhuang Subdistrict, Shahe and Shangzhuang Towns to its north, Huilongguan, Qinghe, Shangdi and Malianwa Subdistricts to its east, Qinglongqiao and Xiangshan Subdistricts to its south, Wenquan and Sujiatuo Towns to its west. The population of Xibeiwangg was 164,795 in 2020.
The name Xibeiwang is a corruption of Xibaiwang (Chinese: 西百望; lit. 'West Baiwang'), a name of this region given for its location west of Baiwang Mountain. The mountain, in turn, gets its name for the fact that its peak can supposedly still be visible from a hundred Chinese miles away.
