Yaopi (Chinese: 腰陂镇; pinyin: Yāopí Zhèn) is a former town in the middle east of Chaling County, Hunan, China.

As a historical division of Chaling, Yaopi Commune (腰陂公社) was created in 1961 from a part of Dongfeng Commune (东风公社). The commune was reorganized as a township in 1984, the township was reorganized as a town in 1990. In February 2007, Qidi Township (七地乡) and Hengwu Village (横屋村) of the historic Yaoshui Township (尧水乡) were merged to Yaopi Town.[1]

Yaopi Town was dissolved on November 20, 2015, while 24 villages and a community of the town were amalgamated to Yaolu Town (腰潞镇). The other three villages were merged to Mijiang Subdistrict (洣江街道).[2][3][4]
