Improving the consumption level of rural residents and narrowing the consumption gap between urban and rural residents are important elements in realizing integrated urban-rural development and rural revitalization strategy. Firstly， this paper briefly expounds the current situation of rural logistics and consumption gap between urban and rural residents， systematically combs the influence path of rural logistics on the consumption gap between urban and rural residents. Then it constructs a fixed-effects model using rural logistics and urban-rural residents' consumption data from 31 provinces （municipalities） across China from 2011 to 2020 to empirically test the impact of rural logistics on the consumption gap between urban and rural residents. The study shows that the development of rural logistics has a significant negative impact and the improvement of rural logistics and the expansion of the scale of rural logistics industry are conducive to narrowing the consumption gap. Meanwhile， the impact of rural logistics on narrowing the consumption gap is regionally heterogeneous. While the improvement of rural logistics is especially obvious for the central and western regions. the expansion of the scale of rural logistics industry has a greater impact on the eastern region. Therefore， it is necessary to accelerate the construction of logistics infrastructure in the eastern rural areas， improve the development level of rural logistics in the central and western regions， improve the construction of rural e-commerce platforms， accelerate the cultivation of professional talents in the field of logistics and promote the rapid development of rural consumer markets in order to continuously narrow the consumption gap between urban and rural residents.
