The Jin'an Bridge is a suspension bridge near Lijiang, Yunnan, China. At 461m (1,512feet), it is the fourth highest bridge in the world. The bridge forms part of the G4216 Chengdu–Lijiang Expressway carrying traffic over the Jinsha River.

The bridge crosses the river 1.4 km upstream from the Jin'anqiao Dam. Due to the formation of the reservoir behind the dam, the full clearance to the original river level will not be visible.

The original design was slightly higher crossing 512m (1,680feet) above the river and slightly shorter with a main span of the bridge 1190m (3,900feet)
