The 'Huangpu River' (; Wade-Giles: Huang-p'u Chiang; literally ''"Yellow Bank River"'') is a 97km long river in China flowing through Shanghai.
Huangpu River used to be one branch of the Suzhou River. However, it has become the largest river in Shanghai, and Suzhou River became its branch.
It is an average of 400 meters wide and 9 meters deep. Shanghai gets most of its drinking water from Huangpu, which thus plays an important part for the metropolis. It divides the city into two regions: Pudong (east) and Puxi (west).
The Bund in Shanghai is located along the river.
