Yongchang Commandery (永昌郡) was an imperial Chinese commandery in present-day western Yunnan. Created in 69 CE during the Eastern Han and abolished by the Sui dynasty in 602 CE, it served as a military outpost, a hub on the Southern Silk Road, and a meeting ground between the Han world and mainland Southeast Asia.
