Poing is a municipality in the Upper Bavarian district of Ebersberg, lying 18 kilometres (11 mi) east of central Munich.

Poing is approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) NE of Munich and is serviced by the Munich S-Bahn (S2) and MVV Bus systems. Poing has two constituent communities named Angelbrechting and Grub. Poing is bordered on the east by Anzing and Markt Schwaben, Pliening in the North, Kirchheim to the West and Parsdorf to the South.

It is believed that Poing has been settled for more than 5,000 years. The ending on the community's name suggests a Celtic origin.

Over the last few decades, Poing has developed rapidly from a small village into the second biggest community on the S-Bahn line 2 (S2) area (up to Erding) and into the second biggest community in Ebersberg after Vaterstetten. In 2006, it overtook the once dominant neighboring community of Kirchheim. The sharp rise in population is due to the many new building projects in the northern area of the city, to which no end is yet foreseen. Therefore, even more development projects are expected.

Poing's arms might heraldically be described thus: In azure a fess argent upon which a chevron Or below which an eight-pointed star argent.

From the Poing patrician family Prielmair's arms came both the star and the chevron. The shield's color and the silver fess hearken back to the community's former fast link with the House of Wittelsbach.

The Wildpark Poing, opened in 1970 and lies to the east of the community. In some parts of the park, visitors can walk through large outdoor enclosures containing various kinds of free roaming animals, which the public may feed.

Poing is serviced by the Munich S-Bahn network (S2) (Erding-Petershausen). There are two S-Bahn stops of the Munich S-Bahn. One in Poing, the other in Grub.

FTO (Flughafen-Tangente-Ost, Airport Connector Road - St2580), connects the A 94 with the airport. It is located east of the community, and opened for traffic on Sep. 9 2009.
