Liangzhe Circuit or Liangzhe Province was one of the major circuits during the Song dynasty. In 1074 it was divided into 2 circuits: Liangzhe East Circuit and Liangzhe West Circuit but quickly recombined; after another brief split in 1076–1077, Liangzhe Circuit was permanently split in the 1160s.
Its administrative area corresponds to roughly the modern provinces of Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu, as well as the modern metropolitan Shanghai.
