Science and Technology Park (深圳富士康龙华园区) is a technology park in Longhua Town, Shenzhen, in the south of China, that is Foxconn's largest factory site worldwide. It gained notoriety in 2010 after a spate of suicide attempts, many of them successful, by employees at the Foxconn facilities in the area, totaling 15 attempts that year, 10-13 of which were fatal.

The park produces the bulk of Apple's iPhone line. Hundreds of thousands of workers (varying counts include 230,000, 300,000, and 450,000) are employed at the site, a walled campus sometimes referred to as “Foxconn City”. Covering about 3 km2 (1.2 sq mi) , it includes 15 factories, worker dormitories, 4 swimming pools, a fire brigade, its own television network (Foxconn TV), and a city centre with a grocery store, bank, restaurants, bookstore, and hospital. While some workers live in surrounding towns and villages, others live and work inside the complex; a quarter of the employees live in the dormitories, and many of them work up to 12 hours a day for 6 days each week.
