This is a Chinese name; the family name is Wang.

Wang Beixing (Chinese: 王北星; pinyin: Wáng Běixīng; born 10 March 1985 in Harbin, Heilongjiang) is a Chinese long track speed skater, specializing in short distances (500 m and 1000 m). She is coached by Canadian former skater Kevin Overland.

Wang first competed in 2003. However, her breakthrough came in the 2004–05 season, winning several times in the World Cup B-group and competing in the A-group. At the World Single Distance Championships she surprisingly won silver. She appeared to be a medal candidate at the 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 World Sprint Championships, the first Chinese woman to do so since Ye Qiaobo in 1993.
