Realizing coexistence between humans and tigers is an important initiative of tiger recovery in the world. To define the priority management areas (PMAs) to mitigate the human–tiger conflict (HTC) in Laoyeling, where 90% of China's Amur tiger population is living, we analyzed the distribution of tiger habitat and HTC risk, and delineated PMAs for HTC mitigation. The results indicated that 26.77% (1851 km 2 ) of Laoyeling is the most suitable habitat for the Amur tiger. The high‐risk area for HTC covers an area of 1173 km 2 , of which 413 km 2 is the most suitable habitat for tiger. Among the six PMAs, 374 km 2 of 1398 km 2 are located outside protected areas and need to strengthen conservation and management. Our research can contribute to improving the management effectiveness of HTC in Laoyeling and promoting the recovery of the Amur tiger in China.
