Douzhangzhuang Town (simplified Chinese: 豆张庄镇; traditional Chinese: 豆張莊鎮; pinyin: Dòuzhāngzhuāng Zhèn) is a town situated at the west side of Wuqing District, Tianjin, China. It shares border with Dongmaquan and Sicundian Towns in its north, Dongpuwa and Huangzhuang Subdistricts in its east, Chenzui and Huanghuadian Towns in its south, and Luofa Town in its west. In 2010, the town had 23,421 residents within its boundaries.^[1]

During the Ming Dynasty, the area was settled by a family with the surname Zhang, who specialized in the production of beans and vegetables. The settlement took the name Doujiaozhangzhuang (Chinese: 豆角张庄; lit. 'Bean Pod Zhang's Villa'), which was later simplified to Douzhangzhuang.^[2]
