Multiple studies have documented low human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake among Chinese girls. It remains crucial to determine the parental willingness to pay (WTP) HPV vaccine for girls. We conducted a cross-sectional study recruiting 3904 parents with girls aged 9-14 in Shanghai, China, employing an online questionnaire with a convenience sampling strategy. Parental WTP, both range of payment and estimated point value, were determined for themselves (or wives) and daughters. HPV vaccine uptake was 22. 44% in mothers and 3. 21% in daughters. Respondents favored WTP ≤ 1000 CNY/138 USD for themselves (or wives), whereas showed increasing WTP along with valency of HPV vaccine for daughters (2-valent: 68. 62% ≤1000 CNY/138 USD; 4-valent: 56. 27% 1001-2000 CNY/138-277 USD; 9-valent: 65. 37% ≥2001 CNY/277 USD). Overall, respondents showed higher WTP for daughters (median 2000 CNY/277 USD; IQR 1000-3600 CNY/138-498 USD) than for themselves (2000 CNY/277 USD; 1000-3500 CNY/138-483 USD) or wives (2000 CNY/277 USD; 800-3000 CNY/110-414 USD) (each p
