Wang Rong (234 – 11 July 305), courtesy name Junchong (濬冲), nickname A Rong (阿戎) was a Chinese military general, poet, and politician of the Western Jin dynasty. He was also one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.

Following this, Wang Rong's army merged with Wang Jun's and they advanced towards the Wu capital, Jianye.
