Outer Northwest China () is a term used to describe the territories ceded from Qing China to Russian Empire in the Convention of Peking, Sino-Russian North West Frontier Treaty, and other Unequal Treaties. The territories are former parts of far western Xinjiang and northern Outer Mongolia. Historically, Outer Northwest China was part of Dzungaria but was obtained by the Manchus after their defeat of the Dzungars in the 18th century.
Following the Dissolution of the Soviet Union, the territories are separated and governed by four successors of Soviet Union: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Russia.
