The Huajiang Canyon Bridge is a suspension bridge in Guizhou Province, China, and the highest bridge in the world. The bridge crosses the Beipan River as it passes through the deep Huajiang Canyon.

Upon completion in April 2025, it will be the world's highest bridge, with a height of 625 meters from the bridge deck to the bottom of the gorge. It surpasses the previous highest bridge, the Duge Bridge, which crosses the same river 200 kilometers upstream. The bridge is scheduled to open in September 2025.

Among the reasons for building the bridge were: revitalizing a very rural region and promoting tourism, with the planned creation of an extreme sports center at the bottom of the canyon. Guizhou province is economically depressed, extremely rugged, and for much of its history isolated from the rest of China by its karst topography. The crossing time of the canyon, which previously took 70 minutes, will be reduced to just over a minute.
