This article is about the Mandarin Chinese spoken in the Northeastern part of China. For the standardized official spoken Chinese language, see Standard Mandarin.

Northeastern Mandarin or Northeast China Dialect is a variety of Mandarin Chinese, known as Dongbeihua (traditional Chinese: 東北話; simplified Chinese: 东北话; pinyin: Dōngběihuà), literally "Northeast Speech/Language," or Dongbeiguanhua (东北官话/東北官話; Dōngběiguānhuà) in Mandarin. Northeastern Mandarin is very similar to the Beijing dialect, upon which Standard Mandarin Chinese (Pǔtōnghuà) is based.

The dialect is spoken by people in the Northeastern part of Mainland China; areas like Liáoníng, Jílín, and Hēilóngjiāng provinces. These three provinces make up what is known as Northeastern China or Manchuria. With over 100 million people living in the Northeastern part of China, the Northeastern Mandarin-speaking population is quite large. Like other Mandarin dialects, differences between Northeastern Mandarin and other forms arise from the wide geographical distribution and cultural diversity of northern China.

Northeastern Mandarin can be subdivided into regional sub-dialects named for major cities where there might be slight differences.

• Changchun dialect (Simplified: 长春话/Traditional: 長春話)
• Harbin dialect (哈尔浜话/哈爾濱話)
• Qiqihar dialect (斉斉哈尔话/齊齊哈爾話)
• Shenyang dialect (沈阳话/瀋陽話)

Usually, speakers of Northeastern Mandarin describe the variant that they are speaking as distinct from Standard Mandarin. However, linguists classify Northeastern Mandarin as a form of Mandarin Chinese in a broader sense. While the difference between Northeastern Mandarin and Beijing dialect are not so significant phonologically, Northeastern Mandarin contains many colloquialisms not found in Standard Mandarin.

Although, not considered a language in academic circles, Mandarin variants like Northeastern Mandarin often contribute to a strong regional identity. Chinese speakers can usually recongize a Northeasterner by his or her accent (much like an English speaker can assume a person with a Southern American English to be from the Southern United States).

Northeastern Mandarin evolved from Han immigrants mainly from Shandong and Hebei provinces who settled Manchuria in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but it also retains elements from native Tungusic languages, Japanese and Russian and there are enough differences to give the dialect its own distinctive characteristics.
