Tibetanska visoravan (tibetanski: བོད་ས་མཐོ།, Vajli: bod sa mtho), takođe poznata u Kini i kao Ćinghaj–tibetanska visoravan[1] ili Ćing–Cang visoravan[2] () ili kao Himalajska visoravan u Indiji,[3][4] je ogromna uzvišena visoravan u Centralnoj Aziji[5][6][7][8] i Istočnoj Aziji,[9][10][11][12] koja pokriva većinski deo Tibetanskog autonomnog regiona, Severozapadnog Junana, Zapadne polovine Sičuana, Južnog Gansua i Ćinghaj provincije u zapadnoj Kini, Indijske regione Ladak i Lahaul i Spiti (Himalajski Pradeđ) kao i Butan. Ova visoravan se proteže približno 1.000 km (620 mi) od severa do juga, i 2.500 km (1.600 mi) od istoka do zapada. To je najviša i najveća visoravan na svetu, sa površinom od 2.500.000 km2 (970.000 sq mi) (oko pet puta veličine Metropolitanske Francuske).[13] Njena prosečna elevacija nadmašuje 4.500 m (14.800 ft) i okružena je impozantnim planinskim lancima u kojima se nalaze dva najviša svetska vrha, Mont Everest i K2. Tibetanska visoravan se često naziva „krovom sveta”.

Tibetanska visoravan sadrži izvorišta slivova većine tokova u okolnim regionima. Njegove desetine hiljada glečera i drugih geografskih i ekoloških karakteristika služe kao „vodeni toranj” koji čuva vodu i održava protok. Ponekad se naziva i Trećim polom s obzirom na to da njegova ledena polja sadrže najveću rezervu sveže vode izvan polarnih područja. Uticaj globalnog zagrevanja na Tibetansku visoravan je od velikog naučnog interesa.[14][15][16][17]
