Fuchun River () is located in Zhejiang Province, southeastern China. It is the nickname of the section of Qiantang River from Meicheng Town in Jiande City to Wenjiayan in Xiaoshan District, making it the middle reaches of Qiantang River. The Fuchun River area used to be known as the "Little Three Gorges".Wu Jun (吴均), Liang Dynasty：自富阳至桐庐一百许里，奇山异水，天下独绝。 It has a total length of 110 kilometers and runs through Tonglu and Fuyang in Zhejiang Province. From 5 kilometers below Meicheng to near Lucibu is the canyon section.
In the late 1950s a dam and hydroelectric project was started (completed 1977) on the river near its confluence with the Fuchun, forming the large Xin’an River Reservoir.
