Tai Geng (Template:Zh) or Da Geng, personal name Zi Bian (Script error: No such module "Lang".), was a king of the Shang dynasty of ancient China.

In the Records of the Grand Historian he was listed by Sima Qian as the sixth Shang king, succeeding his brother Wo Ding (Script error: No such module "Lang".). He was enthroned with Bo (Script error: No such module "Lang".) as his capital. He ruled for 25 years (although the Bamboo Annals claim 5 years), was given the posthumous name Tai Geng and was succeeded by his son Xiao Jia (Script error: No such module "Lang".).[1][2][3]

Oracle script inscriptions on bones unearthed at Yinxu alternatively record that he was the fifth Shang king succeeding his uncle Bu Bing (Script error: No such module "Lang".), given the posthumous name Da Geng (Script error: No such module "Lang".) and succeeded by his brother Xiao Jia.[2][3]
