Li Xiu (291–?), courtesy name Shuxian, was a Chinese military commander during the Jin dynasty (266–420). She is most known for leading the defence of Ning province (寧州; present-day Yunnan and Guizhou) against rebelling barbarian tribes for three years between 305 and 307. After her death, she became a popular deity among the people of Yunnan and was even honored by the emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
