This study investigated the different effects of teacher–student rapport on urban and rural students' math learning via mathematics self‐efficacy and mathematics anxiety in China. The participants were 8145 urban and rural fourth graders (mean age = 10 years old) in a central city of China. The findings indicated that (a) compared with rural students, urban students reported significantly higher mean scores for teacher–student rapport, mathematics self‐efficacy, and mathematical academic outcome, and significantly lower mean scores for mathematics anxiety; (b) students perceived teacher–student rapport in urban and rural schools had a substantial effect on students' mathematical academic outcome through increasing students' mathematics self‐efficacy and alleviating students' mathematics anxiety; and (c) teacher–student rapport in rural schools majorly increased their students' mathematical academic outcome via boosting rural students' mathematics self‐efficacy rather than reducing their mathematical anxiety, which is significantly different from that for urban students.
