Shibing County ({{zh|s=施秉县 |p=Shībǐng Xiàn}}; Hmu: Qib Jux) is a county in the east of Guizhou province, China. It is under the administration of the Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture.
Shibing's history goes back to at least 1391, when it was an important crossing halfway on the road between Zhenyuan and Huangping. The name Shibing is based on Miao language words for the stop in the middle. Shibing was established as a county in 1444. Between 1958 and 1962 it was part of Huangping County.{{Cite web|title=施秉县历史沿革|url=http://www.qdnsb.gov.cn/zjsb/lsyg/201606/t20160624_26575041.html|access-date=2021-12-28|website=www.qdnsb.gov.cn}}
