Jianlong (建隆) is the era name that was first used by Northern Song Emperor Taizu, Zhao Kuangyin. It is also the first era name of the Northern Song Dynasty and was in use for a total of 4 years.

At that time, some regimes from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period continued to use this era name for their own calendars. In November 963, after the Song dynasty officially issued its calendar to Southern Tang, Emperor Li Yu of Southern Tang stopped using the Later Zhou's Xian德 era name and began to use the Northern Song's Jianlong era name (960). The Wuyue King Qian Chu also used this era name. The Jingnan Chancellor Gao Baoshu and Gao Jichong began using this era name in August 960, continuing until May 963 when they surrendered to the Northern Song.
