The Changjiang (Yangtze River) Scholar award (Chinese: 长江学者奖励计划; pinyin: chángjiāng xuézhě jiānglì jìhuà), is the highest academic award issued to an individual in higher education by the Ministry of Education (中华人民共和国教育部) of the People’s Republic of China. The award is also known as the “Cheung Kong Scholar” award and is referred to in English both internationally and by official Chinese government publications as the “Yangtze River” Scholar award.

The award goes to China’s top scholars, who receive the title of Changjiang Distinguished Professor at their university and are provided with financial resources sufficient to enhance the research profile and international visibility of that university.
