'''Autonomous counties''' ({{zh|s=自治县}}) and '''autonomous banners''' ({{zh|s=自治旗}}) are [[Counties of China|county-level]] [[autonomous administrative divisions of China]].<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.economist.com/the-economist-explains/2021/03/23/how-do-chinas-autonomous-regions-differ-from-provinces | title=How do China's autonomous regions differ from provinces? | newspaper=The Economist }}</ref> Autonomous counties tend to have a large number of ethnic minority citizens compared to ordinary counties (if not an outright majority), or are the historic home of a significant minority population.

There are 117 autonomous counties and three autonomous [[Banners of Inner Mongolia|banners]]. The latter are found in [[Inner Mongolia|Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region]] and the former are found everywhere else.
