Wang Shun (simplified Chinese: 汪顺; traditional Chinese: 汪順; pinyin: Wāng Shùn; born 11 February 1994) is a Chinese competitive swimmer. A versatile medley swimmer, he became the first Asian male swimmer to win a gold medal at the men's 200m individual medley at the Olympic Games when he came in first at the 2020 Summer Olympics men's 200 metre individual medley. He is also the first swimmer from China to win a gold medal in an Olympic men's medley swimming event. He had earlier won a bronze medal in the same event at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

In addition to his Olympic medals, Wang has also won four bronze medals at the World Championships, two gold and one bronze medals at the World Championships (short course) and eleven medals (five golds, three silvers, three bronzes) at the Asian Games.

Wang is the current national record holder in individual medley swimming for both short and long courses in all distances (100, 200, and 400 metres). He is also the holder of the Asian record for the 200 metres individual medley (long course) and 100 metres individual medley (short course).
