Emperor Ming of Western Liang ((西)梁明帝) (542–585), personal name Xiao Kui (蕭巋), courtesy name Renyuan (仁遠), was a (disputed) emperor of the Chinese Liang Dynasty. As he, his father Emperor Xuan, and his son Emperor Jing controlled little territory and relied heavily on military support from Northern Zhou and Northern Zhou's successor state Sui Dynasty, most traditional historians did not consider them true emperors of Liang.
