Thuja sutchuenensis (Sichuan Thuja) is a species of thuja, an evergreen coniferous tree in the cypress family Cupressaceae. It is native to China, where it is a critically endangered local endemic in Chongqing Municipality in eastern Sichuan.

It is a small or medium-sized tree, reaching possibly 20 m tall, though no trees of this size are currently known. The foliage forms in flat sprays with scale-like leaves 1.5-4 mm long, green above, and with narrow white stomatal bands below. The cones are oval, green ripening brown, 5-8 mm long and 3-4.2 mm broad (opening to 7 mm broad), with 8-10 overlapping scales.
