Yixuan (16 October 1840 – 1 January 1891), formally known as Prince Chun, was an imperial prince of the House of Aisin-Gioro and a statesman of the Manchu-led Qing dynasty in China. He holds a special place in Qing history as the son of the Daoguang Emperor, younger half-brother of the Xianfeng Emperor, father of the Guangxu Emperor (his second son) and through his fifth son Zaifeng, the paternal grandfather of the Xuantong Emperor (Puyi), the last Emperor of China.
