Han Xin (died 196 BC), also known as Han Wang Xin (韓王信; literally: King Xin of Han) in Chinese texts to differentiate him from the general Han Xin, was a descendant of the royal family of the Han state of the Warring States Period. After the establishment of the Hàn Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu granted Han the title of "King of Han". In 201 BC, Han was suspected of conspiring with the Xiongnu to attack the Hàn Empire and decided to defect to the Xiongnu. He was killed in action during a battle against the Hàn army in 196 BC.
