Empress Bo (Traditional Chinese: 薄皇后) (personal name unknown) (died 147 BC) was an empress during the Han Dynasty. She was the first wife of Emperor Jing.
Empress Bo was from the same clan as Empress Dowager Bo, who married her to her grandson, then-Crown Prince Qi during the reign of her son, Emperor Wen. She carried the title of crown princess during the reign of her father-in-law. When her husband became emperor in 157 BC, she was created empress, but she was not favored by her husband, and she had no sons. It was as a consequence of this that Consort Li's son Liu Rong was made crown prince.
After Grand Empress Dowager Bo died in 155 BC, Empress Bo lost her source of support within the palace. In 151 BC, her husband deposed her. She died four years later.
