Gaozhou is a county-level city in southwestern Guangdong Province, China. It was formerly the primary city of its area and is now administered as part of the prefecture-level city of Maoming. At the 2020 census Gaozhou had a population of 1,328,658 living in a territory of 3,270.86 square kilometres, although its built-up or metropolitan area is much smaller than that figure suggests.
