Yang Quanqi (died c.January 400) was a military general of the Jin dynasty (266–420). He was a border commander who fought several battles against the northern barbarian states following the Battle of Fei River in 383, and later became a chief general for the Inspector of Jing province, Yin Zhongkan during Wang Gong's insurrections against Emperor An of Jin's regent, Sima Daozi. As part of the appeasement plan for the insurrectionists, the imperial court appointed Yang the Inspector of Yong province with the aim of sowing discord between him, Yin and the Inspector of Jiang province, Huan Xuan. Yin became suspicious of Yang and repeatedly turned down his suggestions to strike at Huan first. In the end, Yang Quanqi was captured and executed after he attempted to relieve Yin Zhongkan at Jiangling from Huan Xuan's forces.
