The Pudu River (Chinese: 普渡河; pinyin: Pǔdù Hé) is a major river in Yunnan Province in southwest China.
The source of Pudu River is located in Songming County; the headwater stream is called Muyang River (Chinese: 牧羊河; pinyin: Mùyáng Hé). The river runs southwards through Kunming and then it is called the Panlong River; it flows into Dian Lake at the south of Kunming.
The river leaves Dian Lake near Haikou Subdistrict (formerly, Haikou Town) () of Xishan District, in the southwestern part of the lake. The outlet of the lake is called Tanglang Creek (Chinese: 螳螂川; pinyin: Tángláng Chuān) or Tanglang River (Chinese: 螳螂江; pinyin: Tángláng Jiāng). The river runs northward through Anning City and Fumin County; from there on, it is called Pudu River. It joins Jinsha River in the northeastern part of Luquan Yi and Miao Autonomous County. The river is about 363.6 kilometres long.
