Wen Pin, styled Zhongye (仲業), was a military general during the Three Kingdoms era of China.

After the death of Cao Cao, Wen Pin went on to serve Cao Pi. However, when he set out to attack Eastern Wu with Zhang Liao and Cao Zhen, he fell victim to Xu Sheng's plot and was defeated.

He was later made Rear General and Governor of Jiangxia.
