Map of the Old City of Shanghai in the Shanghai Xianzhi (上海县志).

The Shanghai Xianzhi or "Shanghai Gazetteer" (Chinese: 上海县志; pinyin: Shànghǎi Xiànzhì) is an ancient gazetteer for the city of Shanghai.[1] It is one of the numerous xianzhi (县志, "county gazetteers") that were produced in China in ancient times.

An edition of the Shanghai Xianzhi is known from 1524.[1]

Another such document at the municipal rather than city level is the Shanghai Zhi (上海志).[1]
