Wong Kam-po SBS BBS MH (Chinese: 黃金寶; pinyin: Huáng Jīnbǎo; Jyutping: wong4 gam1 bou2, born 13 March 1973 in Hong Kong) in Shatin, Hong Kong, is a world champion racing cyclist. After retiring from professional cycling, he is now a coach in the Hong Kong team.
Wong Kam-po joined the Hong Kong cycling team in 1990. He quit the team after allegedly fighting with a teammate. After meeting his current coach Shen Jiang-Kong (Chinese: 沈金康), he rejoined the team and began a successful career, winning golds in the National Games of China (1997 & 2001) and the Asian Games (1998, 2006 & 2010). His 1997 win of the Philippine Marlboro Tour was the only championship by a non-Filipino in the event.
In 1992, he was banned from international races for one year for deserting the trouble-plagued 1992 pre-Olympic training squad in France, in support of his coach Chow Tat-ming who was in dispute with the Hong Kong Cycling Association over wages. Wong returned to racing in the opening race of the 1993-94 season.
Wong Kam-po became the first Hong Kong Chinese World Champion cyclist by winning the 15 km-scratch in 2007 UCI Track World Championships. He earned the right to wear the Rainbow Jersey for the year 2007-08. Wong performed well at the 2007 UCI B World Championships road race, with a 4th-place finish, to win an invitation to the 2008 Summer Olympics. He is the flag bearer for Hong Kong.
