Nansang or Namsang Township (Burmese: နမ့်စန်မြို့နယ်) is a township of Nansang District in the Shan State of Myanmar. The principal town is Nansang.[3] The township has two towns with 11 urban wards in total between them as well as 20 village tracts grouping 196 villages.[2]
To prevent confusion with Namhsan Township in northern Shan State, it is sometimes disambiguated as Nan San (South) Township.[4]
On April 30, 2022, new districts were expanded across the country. Nansang Township was separated from Loilem District and together with two other townships formed the new Nansang District.[5]
