The Sumu (Chinese: 苏木; pinyin: sūmù) is a township-level political/administrative divion of China.
The sumu division is equivalent to a township but is unique to Inner Mongolia. It is therefore larger than a village and smaller than a banner (the Inner Mongolia equivalent of the county-level divion).
Sumu whose population is predominated by ethnic minorities are designated ethnic sumu--parallel with the ethnic township in the rest of China.
