The Supreme People's Procuratorate (simplified Chinese: 最高人民检察院; pinyin: Zuìgāo Rénmín Jiǎnchá Yuàn) is the highest agency at the national level responsible for both prosecution and investigation in the People's Republic of China. Hong Kong and Macau, as special administrative regions, have their own separate legal systems, based on common law traditions and Portuguese legal traditions respectively, and are out of the jurisdiction of the SPP.

The office of the Procurator is influenced by similar institutions (public procurator) in Socialist legal systems, and finds equivalence in most civil law systems. Its direct predecessor institution in China is the Procuratorial Office of the Supreme Court of the Republic of China, which in turn is descended from the Procuratorial Office of the Dali Yuan of the late Qing Dynasty.

The current Procurator-General of the Supreme People's Procuratorate is Cao Jianming, and the Chief Grand Procuratorate is Han Zhubin (韩杼滨).
