Xu Huang (died 227) was a military officer serving under the warlord Dong Zhuo during the late Han Dynasty era of Chinese history. He later served another warlord Cao Cao and the state of Cao Wei, founded by Cao Cao's successor Cao Pi, during the Three Kingdoms period. He was best noted for breaking the siege at the Battle of Fancheng in 219 by routing enemy general, Guan Yu, on the field.
The Jin Dynasty historian and author of the Records of Three Kingdoms, Chen Shou, considered Xu Huang among the Five Elite Generals of Cao Cao, together with Zhang Liao, Yue Jin, Zhang He and Yu Jin.
