Fushan Temple ({{zh|c=福山寺|p=Fúshān Sì|poj=Hok-san-sī}}; {{langx|my|ကုက္ကိုင်းဘုရားကျောင်း}}; also called Fu Shan Si or Fu Sun Si), located on Kaba Aye Pagoda Road in Bahan Township, Yangon, is a Chinese temple founded in January 1875 by overseas Chinese descended from Hoklo people of Anxi County, Fujian.{{cite journal |last1=Chen |first1=Yi-Sein |year=1966 |title=The Chinese in Rangoon during the 18th and 19th Centuries |journal=Essays Offered to G.

Fushansi is dedicated to a deified Chinese Buddhist monk known as Master Qingshui or Chó·-su-kong in Hokkien ({{zh|c=祖師公}}, also known as Qingshui Zushi) and the temple was restored in 2008. Fu Shan Temple attracts many devotees especially during Chinese New Year and Master Qingshui's Birthday.

The temple-tender, Mr. Yang, who said that he took part in its renovation in 1960, has managed the temple for many years. The temple compound includes a restaurant and a basketball court. There is also a small artificial body of water in the center of the compound, right in front of the entrance to the temple. The compound has become more of a Chinese park rather than a center of worship. The surrounding area includes traditional Chinese sculptures and architectural designs. There are also circular Chinese balconies with their stone-made tables and stools. Beside one of the balconies, there are statues from the Chinese zodiac and miniature versions of a Chinese bridge and tower.
