Sun Shoubo (simplified Chinese: 孙寿博; traditional Chinese: 孫壽博; pinyin: Sūn Shòubó; born June 11, 1983 in Dalian, Liaoning) is a Chinese football player who currently plays for Dalian Shide as a goalkeeper in the Chinese Super League.

Sun Shoubo started his professional football career in 2001 when he played for Dalian Saidelong who were in the third tier of the Chinese league system. With them he would help see them win promotion to the second tier as well as starting to establish himself within the team.[1] At the beginning of the 2003 league season Sun Shoubo would now establish himself as Dalian Saidelong's first choice goalkeeper but would have to move to Zhuhai to further his career when Dalian Saidelong moved and renamed themselves Zhuhai Anping.
With the chance to play in the top tier Sun Shoubo would transfer to Sichuan Guancheng at the beginning of the 2004 Chinese Super League season.[2] He would immediately establish himself as their first choice goalkeeper when he made his debut in the first game of the season on May 16, 2004 against Beijing Hyundai in a 1-1 draw.[3] While he was an integral part of the team that finished ninth within the league Sun Shoubo would only stay with Sichuan Guancheng for one season after Dalian Shide showed an interest in him.
With the chance to return home to Dalian, Sun Shoubo would transfer to Dalian Shide in the 2005 Chinese Super League season to play as an understudy to Chen Dong. He would not have to wait long before he made his debut coming on as a substitute for an injured Chen Dong on April 17, 2005 in a game against Shanghai Zobon, which Dalian won 1-0.[4] For several more league games he would remain in goal to play his part in Dalian's title winning team before Chen Dong would return from injury and regain his place in goal. For several further seasons Sun Shoubo would remain as Dalian's second choice goalkeeper until the 2008 Chinese Super League season saw Dalian flirt with relegation and Chen Dong getting injured in a game against Henan Construction on October 2, 2008 saw Sun Shoubo step up and establish himself as their first choice goalkeeper despite Dalian losing 3-0 [5]
