Mizhi County (Chinese: 米脂县; pinyin: Mǐzhī Xiàn) is a county of Yulin, Shaanxi, China. On the middle Wuding River, Mizhi is situated in the Loess Plateau.

The county is established in 1226, named after Mizhizhai (Mizhi Stockade). It was renamed Tianbao in about 1643 by Li Zicheng, but was restored as Mizhi soon. Also, Li built his temporary palace in the county. During the second Sino-Japanese war, it was administered by the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region government.[1]
