Qijian Xia Tianshan (七劍下天山), literally Seven Swords of Mount Heaven, is a wuxia novel by Liang Yusheng. It was first published as a serial in the Hong Kong newspaper Ta Kung Pao under the Xiaoshuolin column from 15 February 1956 to 31 March 1957. The novel is the third instalment in the Tianshan series, preceded by Saiwai Qixia Zhuan and followed by Jianghu San Nüxia. Contemporary coverage and later overviews describe it as part of a trilogy set in the early Qing dynasty. The novel has been loosely adapted into film and television, most notably the 2005 film Seven Swords and the 2006 television series Seven Swordsmen.
