Bao Bing (Chinese: 匚丙; pinyin: Bào bǐng) was the eleventh ruler of Predynastic Shang. Succeeding Bao Yi, he was the third of the Six Spirits (六示 (lìushì)) and venerated as an ancestral deity within the Religion of the Shang dynasty. After his death, he was succeeded by Bao Ding. He was only mentioned once in Records of the Grand Historian before oracular inscriptions revealed his historical deification, though comparatively little is known about his reign due to a lack of surviving records.
