Chaohu () is a county-level city of Anhui Province, China. Situated on the northeast and southeast shores of Lake Chao, from which the city was named, Chaohu is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Hefei, the provincial capital, and is the latter's easternmost county-level division.

History

Formerly it was a prefecture-level city, which held administration over Wuwei, Lujiang, He and Hanshan counties until it dissolved on 2011 August 22. The Anhui provincial government announced in a controversial decision that the prefecture-level city Chaohu was to be split into three parts and absorbed into neighboring cities.{{cite news|url=http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2011-08/22/content_13159691.htm|title=Three-way split to wipe Anhui city off the map|newspaper=China Daily|date=August 22, 2011| access-date=August 22, 2011}} Juchao District was renamed to Chaohu as a county-level city under Hefei's administration.
