Neihu Distrct (Chinese: 內湖區; Wade Giles: Nei-hu; Hanyu Pinyin: Neihu; Tongyong Pinyin: Neihu) is one of Taipei City's twelve districts. Many mountainous roads and paths, which are ideal for hiking, connect Neihu with the neighboring Shilin District and Yangmingshan National Park. Although it is a flood prone region, Neihu has experienced huge growth with the construction of the Neihu Technology Park and hypermarkets such as Costco and RT Mart.

The Tri-Service General Hospital, which is a teaching hospital of the National Defense Medical Center, is also in Neihu. The Wuchih Mountain Military Cemetery borders Neihu.

Neihu's attractions include Dahu Park (大湖公園), famous for its picturesque footbridge, and Bishan Temple (碧山巖), a large Taoist temple on the mountainside that affords a panoramic view of Taipei. In the vicinity of Bishan Temple are a number of other Taoist and Buddhist temples, as well as orchards and fruit farms where tourists can pick their own fruit. An extensive network of hiking trails criss-crosses the mountainous regions of the northern part of Neihu.
