'''Wang Beixing''' ({{zh|c=王北星|p=Wáng Běixīng}}; born 10 March 1985) is a [[Chinese people|Chinese]] long track [[speed skating|speed skater]], specializing in short distances (500 m and 1000 m).

Wang first competed in 2003. However, her breakthrough came in the 2004–05 season, winning several times in the [[Speed Skating World Cup|World Cup]] B-group and competing in the A-group. At the [[2005 World Single Distance Speed Skating Championships|World Single Distance Championships]] she surprisingly won silver. She appeared to be a medal candidate at the [[Speed skating at the 2006 Winter Olympics|2006 Winter Olympics]] in Turin. However, here she disappointed with a 7th place at the 500 m and a 29th at the 1000 m.

In January 2009, she won the [[2009 World Sprint Speed Skating Championships|World Sprint Championships]], the first Chinese woman to do so since [[Ye Qiaobo]] in 1993. She won the bronze medal in the 500 m sprint at the [[Speed skating at the 2010 Winter Olympics|2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics]].

She was formerly coached by retired Canadian Olympic medallist and former world record holder [[Kevin Overland]].<ref name=Record>{{cite news|last=Brown|first=Josh|title=Kitchener coach aims to extend South Korea’s speed skating medal streak|url=http://www.therecord.com/sports-story/4360790-kitchener-coach-aims-to-extend-south-korea-s-speed-skating-medal-streak/|accessdate=February 11, 2010|newspaper=[[Waterloo Region Record]]|date=February 10, 2010}}</ref>
