Anshunbroen (kinesisk: 安顺桥, pinyin: Ānshùn Qiáo, «fredfull og flytende-broen») er en bro i Chengdu, provinshovedstad for provinsen Sichuan i Folkerepublikken Kina. Den spenner over elven Jin. Den er en verandabro, og huser en populær og relativt stor restaurant (Veranda Bridge Restaurant).
På 1200-tallet beskrev Marco Polo en rekke kinesiske broer, og Anshun-broen (en tidlig versjon av den) var en av dem.[1][2]
Broen som står nå, ble bygd i 2003 som erstatning for den bro som ble ødelagt under en oversvømmelse i 1980-årene.[3]

"Let us now speak of a great Bridge which crosses this River within the city. This bridge is of stone; it is seven paces in width and half a mile in length (the river being that much in width as I told you); and all along its length on either side there are columns of marble to bear the roof, for the bridge is roofed over from end to end with timber, and that all richly painted. And on this bridge there are houses in which a great deal of trade and industry is carried on. But these houses are all of wood merely, and they are put up in the morning and taken down in the evening. Also there stands upon the bridge the Great Kaan's _Comercque_, that is to say, his custom-house, where his toll and tax are levied."
