Xu Jing (died 222), style name Wenxiu (文休), was a minister of Shu Han during the late Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. He was a brother of Xu Zijiang. After Liu Bei announced his submission to Liu Zhang, Xu Jing swore his allegiance to Liu Bei. Xu Jing was a very master judge of character, along with being very famous. After Liu Bei declared himself emperor, Xu Jing was appointed Interior Minister. He was among the few persons to whom even an official as powerful as Zhuge Liang should bow, but he only held little real power.
