The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is one of the biggest accretionary orogens in the world. With the development of laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS), large data of detrital zircon U–Pb and Hf isotopes have been published for decades, which leads to better understanding of the tectonic evolution and geodynamics of the CAOB. We compiled the data about the information of articles, samples and their analytical methods and results, then checked and corrected. These data are available to support future research activities in the CAOB, northern China, for example, the provenance analysis, climate changes and paleogeographic reconstruction. Detrital zircon U‐Pb and Hf isotopic data for the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, northern China were collected from 223 relevant research articles and dissertations, including 862 samples, 61903 records of U‐Pb isotopic data and 6953 records of Hf isotopic data.
