Liaobei (Wade-Giles: Liaopei) also known as Liaopeh was a province of the Republic of China. Located in Manchuria, the major part of the area of Liaobei constitutes the parts of province which is now in Inner Mongolia, now under the de facto jurisdiction of the People's Republic of China. Its de jure capital was located in Liaoyuan City (present-day Shuangliao, Jilin), but the de facto capital was at Siping City since Liaoyuan was already occupited by the Communists.
Today the area of the former Liaobei province spread across Inner Mongolia, Jilin and Liaoning.
As the ROC did not recognize changes in administrative divisions made by the PRC, official maps sanctioned by the ROC government showed Liaobei Province in its pre-1949 borders.
