Duobao Glazed Pagoda is a Chinese Buddhist pagoda at the back of Longevity Hill inside the Summer Palace of Beijing, China. It was built during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (1735-1796) of the Qing Dynasty.

The pagoda is mostly noteworthy for its decoration: it is completely covered in tiny glazed Buddhist statues. It has three storeys, each with double or triple-layer eaves supported with brackets.

The pagoda used to have a pavilion next to it, however, it was destroyed and only its brick platform survives.
