The Diamond League Shanghai is an annual athletics event at the Shanghai Stadium in Shanghai, China, as part of the Diamond League. The meeting was founded as the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix in 2005.[2] The meet assumed its current name in 2010.

From 2005 to 2009 the IAAF classified the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix among IAAF Grand Prix and IAAF Super Grand Prix meetings. It is the only meeting of the Diamond League that features and guarantees the men's 110 m hurdles in every edition of the League.[3][4]
