Beizhakou Town is a town situated in the center of Jinnan District, Tianjin, China. It borders Haitang Subdistrict and Xianshuigu Town to its north, Shuangqiaohe and Xiaozhan Towns to its east, as well as Balitai Town to its west. It also has an exclave within Balitai Town.

In 1875, a division of the Huai Army was stationed in Tianin, and constructed Xuanhui Sluice in the area, where several smaller rivers flow into the Yueya River down south. The Sluice and the surrounding settlement later earned the name "Beizhakou" .[2]
