Gangcheng is one of 10 urban districts of the prefecture-level city of Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, East China.

It has an area of 336km2[1] and around 240,000 inhabitants (2003).

It is named for its production of iron and steel. (Gang "钢" means "steel" in Chinese.) Laiwu Steel Corporation, the largest subsidiary of Shandong Iron and Steel Group (commonly known as Shan Steel), is headquartered in Gangcheng District.[2]

In January 2019, the Shandong provincial government announced in a decision that Laiwu Prefecture-level city was absorbed by Jinan and Gangcheng District will also be under Jinan's administration.
