The Xinhai Lhasa turmoil (Tibetan: ཆུ་བྱི་དམག་འཁྲུག་, Wylie: chu byi dmag 'khrug; Chinese: 辛亥拉薩動亂), also known as the First Expulsion of the Han (Chinese: 第一次驅漢事件), was a series of mutinies among Qing military troops stationed in Lhasa, Tibet, followed by the military conflict between Tibetan militia and Qing garrison. It effectively resulted in the end of Qing rule in Tibet.

The influence of the Wuchang Uprising on October, 1911 rapidly spread to the frontier region. As a result, the 13th Dalai Lama was able to eliminate Qing forces in Tibet. After months of fighting between Chinese and Tibetan armies, the Chinese withdrew from Tibet, and the Dalai Lama returned as the sole administrator.
