Jianzhipu 牋紙譜 (箋紙譜), also called Shujianpu 蜀牋譜 (蜀箋譜), is a text on paper production in the region of Sichuan during the Tang 唐 (618-907) and Song 宋 (960-1279) periods. The Jianzhipu was written during the early Yuan period 元 (1279-1368) by Fei Zhu 費著, and it is usually attached to Fei's Suihua jili pu 歲華紀麗譜, together with Fei's book on Sichuan silks, Shujinpu 蜀錦譜.

The text briefly describes the production and processing of paper, and enumerates outstanding products like Xue Tao jian 薛濤箋, Xie Gong zhi 謝公紙, or Guangdu zhi 廣都紙.

It is found in the series Baoyantang miji 寶顏堂祕笈, Lüqiu bianyou 閭丘辯囿, Siku quanshu 四庫全書 and Congshu jicheng chubian 叢書集成初編.
