Wang Fei (simplified Chinese: 王菲, born August 6, 1981 in Henan) is a female Chinese beach volleyball player, who won the bronze medal in the women's beach team competition at the 2005 Beach Volleyball World Championships in Berlin, Germany, partnering Tian Jia. She represented her country at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece.

After playing in only one event each in the 1998, 1999 and 2000 seasons, Wang started competing full-time on the FIVB World Tour with Tian in 2001. Wang teamed with Tian in 2005 to post China’s best-ever season for a women’s or men’s team on the FIVB World Tour. The pair finished third in points after compiling a 48-20 match mark enroute to $173,500 in earnings for 10 events.

Wang and Tian claimed five medal and six Final Four finishes in 2005, including a bronze medal placement at the FIVB World Championships in Berlin. Wang's bid for an Olympic medal at the 2004 Games was hampered when she injured her right knee two months before her appearance with Tian in Athens. In 2003, Wang and Tian won back-to-back stops in Indonesia and Italy.

Wang and Tian also captured Chinese National Championships together in 2001 and 2002. The pair also won the gold medals at the 2001 and 2005 Chinese National Games and the Asian Championship in 2002.
