Binjiang (Chinese: 濱江) was one of the provinces of Manchukuo. On December 1, 1934, Binjiang was established after it was split from Jilin. In 1937, the province of Mundanjiang was split from Binjiang. On August 20, 1945, Binjiang was disestablished after the dissolution of Manchukuo in the Soviet–Japanese War.LTC David M.

Binjiang had a mix of Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Russian people. Many Japanese settlers migrated to the area, during which many human rights abuses were committed.LTC David M.
