Wuding County (Chinese: 武定县; pinyin: Wǔdìng Xiàn; Chuxiong Yi script: 
, IPA: /lo33 di33 bu33/) is under the administration of the Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, in the north-central part of Yunnan province, China, bordering Sichuan province to the north. Wuding's county seat is located only 5 km from the seat of Luquan Yi and Miao Autonomous County.[1] It is a centre for titanium production.[2]
Wuding was historically more important, being the center of a Zhou, equivalent to a prefecture-level division. The prefecture was established in 1567. In 1953 the administrative seat of the division moved to Chuxiong.[1][2]
Wuding County has 7 towns, 3 townships and 1 ethnic township.[3]
The Wuding County Gazetteer (1990) lists the following Yi subgroups.
In Wuding County, ethnic Hani are found in the following locations (Wuding County Gazetteer 1990:141).
According to the Chuxiong Prefecture Gazetteer (1993:411), the Luomian 罗缅, a Hani subgroup, are located in Nigagu 尼嘎古.[13]
