Liang Wenbo (Chinese: 梁文博, pinyin: Liáng Wénbó; born 5 March 1987 in Zhaodong, Suihua, Heilongjiang) is a Chinese professional snooker player. He is left-handed and currently ranked as China's number 2 player after Ding Junhui. Liang is based at the Legends Snooker Academy in Leytonstone, England, United Kingdom.
As an amateur, Liang's major feats were as follows:
Liang built on the positive start to his snooker career, winning an individual silver medal and a team gold medal at the 2006 Asian Games.
During the 2004/05 snooker season, he began his professional career playing on the Challenge Tour, the tier below the World Snooker Association Main Tour. He finished a lowly 104th out of 168 competitors, having only accumulated 2150 points.
Despite not qualifying for the Main Tour directly, Liang received a wildcard nomination to the Main Tour; this was because he won the 2005 IBSF World Under-21 Championship and also because not all of the players that were eligible for the Main Tour took their places. In his first ranking tournament, the Grand Prix, Liang lost in the first qualifying round to Rory McLeod 2–5. In the next ranking event, the UK Championship, he fared better, nearly whitewashing Alfred Burden in the first qualifying round 9–1 and subsequently losing in the second qualifying round to Marcus Campbell by the narrowest of margins, 8–9.
