Bai Langning (Chinese: 白朗宁; pinyin: Bái Lǎngníng, born 17 April 2002)[1] is a Chinese former professional snooker player who, in 2023, received a ban of two years and eight months from professional competition after committing match-fixing offences.

In December 2022, Bai was suspended from the professional tour amid a match-fixing investigation.[2] In January 2023, the WPBSA charged him with being concerned in fixing a match.[3] Following an independent disciplinary tribunal, Bai was banned from professional competition until 6 August 2025.[4] Investigators revealed that prior to the match-fixing he had accrued debts of £15,000.[5]
