Dong Commandery (Chinese: 東郡) was a commandery in historical China from the Warring States period to Sui dynasty. Its territories were situated in present-day Henan, Hebei and Shandong provinces. The commandery was established by the state of Qin in 242 BCE after a successful campaign against the state of Wei. In early Western Han dynasty, the commandery became a part of the Liang Kingdom, which was subsequently abolished during the Lü Clan Disturbance. In late Western Han dynasty, the commandery administered 22 counties and marquessates: Puyang (濮陽), Panguan (畔觀), Liaocheng (聊城), Dunqiu (頓丘), Fagan (發干), Fan (范), Chaping (茬平), Dongwuyang (東武陽), Boping (博平), Li (黎), Qing (清), Dong'e (東阿), Lihu (離狐), Linyi (臨邑), Limiao (利苗), Xuchang (須昌), Shouliang (壽良), Lechang (樂昌), Yangping (陽平), Baima (白馬), Nanyan (南燕) and Linqiu (廩丘).
