Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture is an autonomous prefecture in northwestern Yunnan, China. The titular ethnic group is the Lisu people, who make up nearly half of the prefecture's population.

The state is long and narrow, with an area of 14,585 square kilometers and a total population of 552,700. The capital of the state is located in Liuku Town, Lushui City. Nujiang Prefecture is the only Lisu Autonomous Prefecture in China, with the Lisu ethnic group accounting for about 51% of the population, and a number of other ethnic minorities, including the Bai, Nu, Pumi and Dulong, living in the prefecture.

Economically, due to geographic constraints, the incidence of poverty in Nujiang was once as high as 56%, which is at a backward level in both China and Yunnan Province, and is one of the "Three Regions and Three Prefectures" in China that are extremely poor. Because of its location in the Hengduan Mountains, Nujiang has the natural wonder of "Three Parallel Rivers", which was inscribed on the UNESCO's World Natural Heritage List in 2003.
