Bao Chunlai (Chinese: 鲍春来; pinyin: Bào Chūnlái; Mandarin pronunciation: [pâʊ ʈʂʰwə́n lǎɪ]; born 17 February 1983) is a retired left-handed badminton player from China.

The tall, powerful Bao ranked among the world's leading singles player during the first decade of the 21st century.

Bao won medals at three of the six BWF World Championships that he played in, earning a bronze at the 2003 and 2007 editions, and a silver at the 2006 Championships in Madrid, where he upset first seeded Lee Chong Wei in the quarterfinals before falling to teammate Lin Dan in the final.

A frequent finalist in top tier international tournaments, Bao had some difficulty breaking through in them until 2009, his most successful year, which saw him capture the Asian Championships, and the German, Singapore, and Japan Opens.

Bao's repeat win that year at the German Open was his last tournament victory on the international circuit.
