Cardinal Paul Yü Pin (于斌; Hanyu pinyin: Yú Bīn; April 13, 1901 – August 16, 1978) was a Chinese Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Archbishop of Nanking from 1946 until his death, having previously served as its Apostolic Vicar, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1969.
Paul Yü Pin was born in Hai-lun, Kirin, to Shuayuan Yu Pin and Ai-mei Siao. Orphaned at age 7, he was baptized in 1914 after encountering the missionary priests near Lansi, where he lived with his grandfather. Yu attended the Provincial Normal School in Heilongjiang, the Jesuit Aurora University in Shanghai, and the seminary in Kirin before going to Rome, where he studied at the Pontifical Urbaniana University (earning his doctorate in theology) and Pontifical Roman Athenaem S. Apollinare. He also studied at the Royal University in Perugia, from where he obtained a doctoral degree in politics.
