Zhang Bao
Traditional Chinese: 張寶
Simplified Chinese: 张宝

Zhang Bao (? - 184) was a younger brother of Zhang Jiao and older brother of Zhang Liang. Zhang Bao was a general in the Yellow Turban Rebellion (184 CE). He was defeated by the task force dispatched by the Han government, which included the generals Liu Bei and his brothers-in-arms Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

After the death of Zhang Jiao (ironically due to illness) the Yellow Turbans lacked leadership and so crumbled into dust. It is said that Zhang Bao is the grandson of the founder of the Tianshi (Celestial Masters) Sect of Taoism, Zhang Daoling.
