Luan Bo (born April 16, 1965 in Harbin, Heilongjiang) is a Chinese figure skating coach and former competitive pair skater. With partner Yao Bin, she was the first pair skater to represent China at the World Figure Skating Championships.

At the 1980 World Figure Skating Championships in Dortmund, West Germany, they finished 15th, in last place. They competed at the World Championships twice more in 1981 and 1982, finishing last both times. They represented China at the 1984 Winter Olympics and placed 15th.
