Kebineng (轲比能) was a Xianbei (鲜卑) tribal leader who raided the northern frontier of Cao Wei. Cao Zhang campaigned against him in Dai Commandery and defeated him, securing the border. Kebineng later submitted to Wei or was killed by a Wei-sponsored assassin (235); sources differ. His activities are recorded in the context of Wei’s defence of the north against non-Han peoples.
