Majuqiao Town (simplified Chinese: 马驹桥镇; traditional Chinese: 馬駒橋鎮; pinyin: Mǎjūqiáo Zhèn; Wade–Giles: Ma-chü-chʻiao Chen) is a town in Tongzhou District in the southeastern suburbs of Beijing, located barely inside the 6th Ring Road and near that highway's interchange with G2 Beijing–Shanghai Expressway. As of 2020, the town was home to 175,794 residents.

Around the end of Sui dynasty, this region was part of a horse farm. The settlement around the farm was known as Majuli, and a bridge named Majuqiao (Chinese: 马驹桥; lit. 'Horse Bridge') was built across Liangshui River. The town was named after the erstwhile bridge.
