'''Bao Chunlai''' ({{zh|s=鲍春来|p=Bào Chūnlái}}; {{small|Mandarin pronunciation:}} {{IPAc-cmn|b|ao|4|-|ch|wen|1|-|l|ai|2|}}; born 17 February 1983) is a retired [[left-handed]] [[badminton]] player from [[China]].

== Career ==
The tall, powerful Bao ranked among the world's leading singles player during the first decade of the 21st century. He was a member of [[China national badminton team|China's]] world champion [[Thomas Cup]] (men's international) teams in [[2004 Thomas Cup|2004]], [[2006 Thomas Cup|2006]], [[2008 Thomas Cup|2008]], and [[2010 Thomas Cup|2010]]. Bao won medals at three of the six [[BWF World Championships]] that he played in, earning a bronze at the [[2003 IBF World Championships|2003]] and [[2007 BWF World Championships|2007]] editions, and a silver at the [[2006 IBF World Championships|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 [[2009 Badminton Asia Championships|Asian Championships]], and the [[German Open (badminton)|German]], [[Singapore Open (badminton)|Singapore]], and [[Japan Open (badminton)|Japan]] Opens. In 2010 he upset his superbly accomplished compatriot [[Lin Dan]] in the quarterfinals of the prestigious [[All England Open Badminton Championships|All England Open]] but was then upset in turn by Japan's [[Kenichi Tago]]. Bao's repeat win that year at the [[German Open (badminton)|German Open]] was his last tournament victory on the international circuit.

Bao officially retired from the national team on 21 September 2011. In 2015 he appeared in the sports action film [[Full Strike]].
