Fan Bingbing (Chinese: 范冰冰, born 16 September 1981) is a Chinese actress.

After gaining recognition for the costume drama My Fair Princess (1998–1999), Fan's breakthrough came with Feng Xiaogang's blockbuster film Cell Phone (2003), which won her the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress. She collaborated with Li Yu on films such as Lost in Beijing (2007), Buddha Mountain (2011) and Double Xposure (2012), and reunited with Feng in I Am Not Madame Bovary (2016), which won her the Silver Shell for Best Actress and Asian Film Award for Best Actress. She also starred in Charles de Meaux's film Stretch (2011), Bryan Singer's film X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), and Renny Harlin's film Skiptrace (2016). From 2013 to 2017, she was included as the highest-paid celebrity in the Forbes China Celebrity 100 list after ranking in the top 10 every year since 2006.[3][4][5] She appeared on Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in 2017.

In 2018, Fan was involved in a tax evasion scandal, resulting in a CN¥883 million (US$127 million) fine and her blacklisting in mainland China. [6][7][8][9] She returned to acting with a cameo in Korean TV show Insider (2022), followed by a starring role in film Green Night (2023).[10]
