Hexigten Banner (Mongolian: {{MongolUnicode|ᠬᠡᠰᠢᠭᠲᠡᠨ ᠬᠣᠰᠢᠭᠤ|style=max-height:2em;word-wrap:normal;) is a banner of Inner Mongolia, China under the jurisdiction of Chifeng, bordering Hebei province to the south. In 1690 the Battle of Ulan Butung between Qing and Dzungar forces took place here.
It was named after the Khishigten Mongol clan, who were considered to be the descendants of the Kheshig, the imperial guard of the Mongol Empire.
There are 8 main ethnic groups (i.e. Han, Mongol, Hui, Manchu, Daur, Korean, Dong and Zhuang). The Mongols are of the Hishigten division.
