The Feidong Complex, located on the northeastern margin of the Yangtze Craton, exposes Precambrian basement rocks and is the subject of debate regarding its tectonic affinity. In this study, we conducted in situ U–Pb dating and Hf isotope analyses of zircons from basement rocks within the Feidong Complex. The results reveal crystallisation ages of ca. 2.45, 2.0 and 0.8 Ga for the granitic gneiss, amphibole biotite plagiogneiss and mylonitised monzonitic granite, respectively. The basement rocks with ages of ca. 2.45 and 2.0 Ga exhibit negative zircon εHf(t) values (−10.48 to −0.13) and older two‐stage model ages (TDM2 = 2974 to 3296 Ma). We compared the zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic characteristics of the basement rocks from the Feidong Complex with those of the southern margin of the North China Craton and the northern margin of the Yangtze Craton. Additionally, we also compared the metamorphic grades of rocks between the Feidong Complex and Susong Complex of the Dabie orogenic belt. We found that the Feidong Complex and the northern margin of Yangtze Craton share comparable zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic characteristics. However, the metamorphic grades of the Feidong Complex were distinct from those of the Susong Complex. In particular, the basement rocks with an age of ca. 2.45 Ga formed within a subduction setting; those with an age of ca. 2.0 Ga formed during the subduction and collision associated with the assembly of the Columbia supercontinent; and those with an age of ca. 0.8 Ga experienced extensional processes before the breakup of the Rodinia supercontinent.
