Enhancing citizens’sense of social equity is of vital importance for maintaining national order and building a harmonious society.Against the backdrop of digital inclusive finance promoting rural revitalization，it is necessary to explore whether digital inclusive finance makes rural residents feel more equitable.Based on the Digital Financial Inclusion Index from Peking University and data from China General Social Survey，this article uses the generalized ordered logit model to explore the impact and mechanism of digital financial inclusion on rural residents’perception of social fairness.The results show that digital financial inclusion has a significant positive impact on rural residents’perception of social fairness.Mechanism analysis shows that digital financial inclusion positively affects rural residents’perception of social fairness by improving their horizontal and vertical relative income evaluations，while individual absolute income levels do not serve as a pathway through which digital financial inclusion influences rural residents’perception of social fairness.Further research has found that there is a dual threshold effect of individual absolute income on the impact of digital financial inclusion on perceived social fairness among rural residents.Based on these findings，the paper recommends further improving the digital financial inclusion service system and focusing on balance and coordination between regions.
