Yongning Town (simplified Chinese: 永宁镇; traditional Chinese: 永寧鎮; pinyin: Yǒngníng Zhèn) is a town in the Yanqing District of Beijing. It is a small town in rural Beijing but has a long history as an economic and military center. A government initiative in the 2000s to rehabilitate the town has restored its architectural landmarks. It is located to the south of Xiangying and Liubinbao Townships, west of Sihai and Jiuduhe Towns, north of Dazhuangke Township and Jingzhuang Town, and east of Shenjiaying and Jiuxian Towns. As of 2020, it had 23,483 residents under its administration.
The region was named Yongning in 1414 with the meaning of "Eternal Peace".
