Baizhifang Subdistrict (Chinese: 白纸坊街道; pinyin: Báizhǐfāng Jiēdào) is a subdistrict on the southwest part of Xicheng District, Beijing, China. As of 2020, it has a total population of 82,022.[1]

This subdistrict got its name due to its historical status as a paper manufacturing hub. In 1272, the Ministry of Rites set up Baizhifang (Chinese: 白纸坊; lit. 'White Paper Workshop') as a producer of paper for government usage, and the surrounding area got the same name as the institution.[2]
