Harbeth Fu Wing (Chinese: 符泳; pinyin: Fú Yǒng; Jyutping: fu4 wing6; born March 18, 1980) is a Hong Kong former swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] He represented Hong Kong, China at the 2000 Summer Olympics, and later became a top 16 finalist at the Asian Games (2002 and 2006).

Fu Wing competed only in the men's 50 m freestyle at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. He eclipsed a FINA B-cut of 23.71 from the Hong Kong Long Course Championships.[2] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat four, including Kyrgyzstan's Sergey Ashihmin, Goodwill Games silver medalist for Russia, and Kazakhstan's two-time Olympian Sergey Borisenko. Fu Wing closed out the field to last place in a time of 24.20, finishing behind leader Borisenko by 0.74 seconds. Fu Wing failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed fifty-third overall in the prelims.[3][4]

At the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea, Fu Wing failed to medal in any of his individual events, finishing eleventh in the 50 m freestyle (23.66), and seventeenth in the 100 m freestyle (53.44).[5][6]
