Qiao Zong (simplified Chinese: 谯纵; traditional Chinese: 譙縱; pinyin: Qiáo Zòng) (died 413) was a Han Chinese military leader in present-day Sichuan province in China during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He proclaimed himself the Prince of Chengdu in 405 and was given the title "Prince of Shu" by Yao Xing, ruler of the Later Qin, in 409. His state of Shu (Chinese: 蜀; pinyin: Shǔ) is known in historiography as Qiao Shu (simplified Chinese: 谯蜀; traditional Chinese: 譙蜀; pinyin: Qiào Shǔ) or Western Shu (Chinese: 西蜀; pinyin: Xī Shǔ). His self-governing body coordinated offensive campaigns with Later Qin along the Yangtze River until Qiao's state was destroyed by a campaign under military subordinates of Liu Yu in 413.
