Huize County (simplified Chinese: 会泽县; traditional Chinese: 會澤縣; pinyin: Huìzé Xiàn) is a county-level city, under the jurisdiction of Qujing City, Yunnan province, People's Republic of China.

The city has grown considerably over the past 20 years. It has 871,200 inhabitants.

It is 120 km (75 mi) from the center of Qujing.

Huize is located between mountains with rice fields at one side and a large earth dam to the south. Some of the mountain areas are blasted for construction materials.

Tempered by the low latitude and moderate elevation, Huize has a mild subtropical highland climate (Köppen Cwb), with short, mild, dry winters, and warm, rainy summers. A great majority of the year's rainfall occurs from June to September.

There are several food markets, temples, shops and bars in the county center.
