Suwan Border Area, also referred to as Su-An Border Region in English, was a communist controlled area of China during World War II and in the following years until 1949.

Like other communist controlled areas at this time, it had strongholds located in relatively remote regions, on the border of two provinces. In the case of Suwan, the provinces were "Su" Jiangsu and "Wan" Anhui.

At some periods, parts of Henan Province were also included in the Suwan Border Region.^[1]

In 1945 Suwan extended to the north bank of the Yangtze River, opposite the Republican capital, Nanjing, much to the annoyance of President Chiang Kai-shek. On the 1st November 1945, the Su-An Border Region Government was established in Huai'an, consisting of four liberated areas, Suzhong (central Jiangsu), Subei (northern Jiangsu), Huainan (southern Huai River) and Huaibei (northern Huai River).^[2]

In 1946 Mao Zedong and the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party considered moving the Communist headquarters to Huai'an.^[3]
