The Huangpu River (Template:Zh-stp; Wade-Giles: Whangpoo-ho; literally "Yellow Bank River") is a 97km long river in China flowing through Shanghai.

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.
