Sichuanese Standard Mandarin (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; Sichuanese Pinyin: Si4cuan1 Pu3tong1hua4; pinyin: Sìchuān Pǔtōnghuà; Wade–Giles: Szŭ4-ch'uan1 P'u3-t'ung1-hua4), or Szechwanese/Szuchuanese Standard Mandarin, also known as Pepper Salt Standard Mandarin (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ), is a variant of Standard Mandarin derived from the official Standard Mandarin spoken in Sichuanese-speaking areas (mainly Sichuan and Chongqing) in China, and is often called "川普" (Chuan1pu3, Chuānpǔ or Ch'uan1-p'u3) for short.

Unlike Sichuanese (or Sichuanese Mandarin), which is a native language spoken in the Sichuan region and differs greatly from Standard Mandarin, Sichuanese Standard Mandarin (or Chuanpu) arose after the Popularize Mandarin Policy was implemented by the Chinese government in 1956 and is in fact Standard Mandarin with a Sichuanese accent and some elements of Sichuanese vocabulary and grammar. In this view, Chuanpu is, to a certain degree, similar to Taiwanese Mandarin and Singaporean Mandarin, which are influenced by Hokkien and other varieties.
