Wang Mi (died c.November 311), courtesy name Zigu, was a Chinese bandit leader and military general of the Han-Zhao dynasty. He participated in a rebellion led by Liu Bogen during the War of the Eight Princes but after it was quelled, he fled to Mount Zhangguang where he became a notorious bandit and was given the nickname "Flying Leopard". After two years of banditry, he joined the Han-Zhao dynasty in 308. He became one of the state's most important commanders in their war against the Jin, playing a crucial role in capturing Luoyang during the Disaster of Yongjia. However, Wang Mi's career was cut short after he was assassinated by his peer and rival Shi Le in 311.
