Tieshan District (Chinese: 铁山区, Tiěshān Qū) is a district within the prefecture-level city of Huangshi in China's Hubei province. Small in area (28.7 km2), it is squeezed between the "county-level city" Daye to the south and west, Huangshi's Xialu District to the east, and the prefecture-level city of Ezhou to the north. Physically, it is a small mining town.

As the town's name indicates ("Tieshan" means "Iron Mountain"), the town owes its existence to iron-ore mines.

The town is served by China National Highway 106, which also doubles as China National Highway 316 in this part of Hubei.
