Yue Jin (died 218) was a military general serving under the warlord Cao Cao during the late Han Dynasty of China. He was noted as much for his short stature as for his valor and ferocity on the battlefield. Yue Jin participated most of Cao Cao's early to middle wars, and gained multiple successes in campaigns against Lü Bu, Liu Bei and remnants of the Yellow Turbans and Yuan clan of northern China. He was particularly praised as a capable vanguard, but his most famed accomplishment came with his supporting role in the defense of Hefei against the advances of Sun Quan's forces in 214.
Chen Shou, author of the Records of Three Kingdoms, considered Yue Jin among the Five Elite Generals, along with Zhang Liao, Yu Jin, Zhang He and Xu Huang, and referred to him as the most ferocious of all Cao Cao's generals.
