Xun County or Xunxian (simplified Chinese: 浚县; traditional Chinese: 濬縣; pinyin: Xùn Xiàn) is a county in the north of Henan province, China. It is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Hebi and located on the transition of the East China Plain and the Taihang Mountains.

Xun County has a historic center originating to 1331, one of the best preserved of the East China Plain, and is located along the Grand Canal.

The landscape is characterized by the hills of Dayao and Fuqiu rising from the plains.

The Yellow River historically had its course through the south of the county, causing numerous floods.
