Yixian Elevated Road (Chinese: 逸仙高架路; pinyin: Yìxian Gāojiàlù) is an elevated expressway in the city of Shanghai, China. It runs from the Inner Ring Road at the Dabaishu Interchange to the S20 Outer Ring Expressway and G1501 Shanghai Ring Expressway in Baoshan District.

The first phase of the Yixian Elevated Road ran from the Inner Ring Road to Jungong Road only. The elevated expressway was extended in a second phase to Baoshan District and the S20 Outer Ring Expressway. This opened on 6 July 2004 and shortened the commute from Baoshan District to Dabaishu from 30 to 10 minutes.[1]

The expressway is named after Sun Yat-sen.
