The Consulate General of the United States, Chengdu, (Chinese: 美国驻成都总领事馆) was a diplomatic mission in Wuhou District, Chengdu, China from 1985 to 2020.[1]

This was one of seven American diplomatic and consular posts in China.[2] The consular district included the provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou, the Tibet Autonomous Region, and the prefecture-level city of Chongqing.

On February 6, 2012, the Consulate General was the scene of the Wang Lijun incident.[3]

On July 24, 2020, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China informed the US Embassy in China of its decision to withdraw its consent for the establishment and operation of the US Consulate General in Chengdu, in response to the United States government's decision to close the Chinese Consulate General in Houston.[4]
