The Futian Mangrove Wetlands in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, span 367.64 hectares and consist of intertidal mudflats, intertidal forest wetlands, and aquaculture ponds. The site is dedicated to the preservation of mangroves and waterbirds.

The Futian Mangrove Wetlands serve as a significant node along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, providing a critical stopover for migratory birds. During the period from October to April, tens of thousands of migratory birds travel through the area, using Shenzhen Bay as their wintering grounds or a transit station.

In 2022, it was listed as a Wetland of International Importance (Ramsar Site).
