Dong Xi (died 215) was a military general serving under the warlords Sun Ce and Sun Quan during the late Han Dynasty period of Chinese history. He hailed from Yuyao county, Kuaiji commandery (present-day Yuyao city, Zhejiang), and entered Sun Ce's camp when the later pacified Jiangdong. Since Dong Xi's height (about 184 to 190 cm) and martial skill were extraordinary, he was relied by the Sun family from time to time. Despite being adept in elocution, he was a cussed man in core, and his obdurate nature would eventually cost his life on the battlefield.
