The Austro-Hungarian concession of Tianjin (Chinese: 天津奥租界; pinyin: Tiānjīn ào zūjiè, German: österreichisch-ungarische Konzession, Hungarian: Osztrák–magyar tiencsini koncesszió) was a territory in the Chinese city of Tientsin occupied by Austria-Hungary between 1902 and 1920.

The Austro-Hungarian concession zone was 150 acres (0.61 km 2 ) in area, situated next to the Pei-Ho river and outlined by the Imperial channel and the Tianjin-Beijing railway track.

In international relations, a concession is a "synallagmatic act by which a State transfers the exercise of rights or functions proper to itself to a foreign private test which, in turn, participates in the performance of public functions and thus gains a privileged position vis-a-vis other private law subjects within the jurisdiction of the State concerned."
