Ya'an (Chinese: 雅安; pinyin: Yǎ'ān; Wade–Giles: Ya-an) is a prefecture-level city in the western part of Sichuan province of the People's Republic of China.

Zhouhe and Tiaquan are among the county-level cities administered by Ya'an. Ya'an borders Tibet to the west.

Previously known as Yachow-Fu, the city is first mentioned during the Zhou Dynasty (1122-255 BCE). It served as a county seat during the Qin and Han Dynasties, but was subsequently ruled by the Mongols. After being reintegrated into the Chinese Empire in the late 7th century, it was made the seat of the Ya Prefecture in 604. The modern Ya-an county was established in 1912.
