Jiuli District (simplified Chinese: 九里区; traditional Chinese: 九里區; pinyin: Jiǔlǐ Qū; literally: "nine li") was a suburban of Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, China. The district was named after a mountain lying within it.

In 1965, the district was established and designated "Mining District" for administering numerous coal and iron ore mines.[1] It was renamed Jiuli in 1995, and its southeastern part, western part and the rest were merged into Gulou, Quanshan, Tongshan respectively in 2010.[2]
