Pinggu Town (Chinese: 平谷镇; pinyin: Pínggǔ Zhèn) is a town in Pinggu District, Beijing, China. It borders Wangxinzhuang Town and Xinggu Subdistrict to the north, Xiagezhuang Town to the east, Donggaocun Town to the south, Machangying and Daxingzhuang Towns to the west, and surrounds Binhe Subdistrict on three sides. According to the 2020 census, its population was 62,694.
It was named Pinggu Town (Chinese: 平谷镇; pinyin: Pínggǔ Zhèn) because of its location in a plain surrounded by mountains on the north, east and south. When it became an area in 2002, the name Yuyang Area (Chinese: 渔阳地区; pinyin: Yúyáng Dìqū) was given, in order to distinguish it from the larger Pinggu District. As of 2025, official sources solely use the term Pinggu Town.
