Zhu Shangbing (朱尚炳; 25 November 1380 – 21 April 1412[1]), the Prince of Qin (秦王), was a Chinese prince of the Ming dynasty. He was the eldest son of Zhu Shuang, Prince Min of Qin, the ninth grandson of the Hongwu Emperor, and the maternal grandson of Deng Yu.

In 1395, he inherited the title of Prince of Qin and became the first hereditary prince (世子) in the Ming dynasty to inherit the title of prince (藩王). Zhu Shangbing once suppressed the rebellion of Gao Fuxing (高福興), a native of Mian County (沔縣).[2]
