Yarlung Tsangpo (tibetanska: ཡར་ཀླུངས་གཙང་པོ་, wylie: yar kLungs gTsang po) eller Yarlung Zangbo (kinesiska: 雅鲁藏布江, pinyin: Yǎlǔ Zàngbù Jiāng) kallas en flod som har sin upprinnelse i Yarlungdalen i Tibet, Kina. Den passerar sedan delstaterna Arunachal Pradesh och Assam i Indien och mynnar slutligen i Bangladesh i Bengaliska viken. Eftersom floden passerar flera nationsgränser, har den åtminstone tre olika namn på olika språk.[1]I Tibet kallas den Yarlung Tsangpo, i Arunachal Pradesh kallas den Dikrong/Dihang/Siang, i Assam kallas den Brahmaputra och i Bangladesh kallas den Jamuna och Meghna.
I sydöstra Tibet formar Yarlung Tsangpo en kanjon som anses vara världens längsta (504,6 km) och djupaste (6 009 m)[2][3].

Yarlung Tsangpo river tibet.jpg
The mighty river featured in this image is called the Yarlung Tsangpo as it courses through the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China, and is then known as the Dikrong during its passage through India's state of Arunachal Pradesh. Further downstream, the river widens and becomes the Brahmaputra. Its waters eventually empty to the Bay of Bengal.
