Fengshan (simplified Chinese: 凤山; traditional Chinese: 鳳山; pinyin: Fèngshān, 1860 – 25 October 1911) was a Chinese general with the Qing dynasty. A member of the Bordered White Banner, he passed the Imperial Examination with a focus on translation. After some time as a translator and secretary, as well as a stint in the police, he transferred to the military. Between 1900 and 1911, he held numerous positions, including division commander with the Beiyang Army as well as Tartar-General in Xi'an. Fengshan was assigned to Guangdong after the assassination of Fu Qi [zh], but he was himself killed by the Chinese Assassination Corps upon arrival. His home in Beijing has been recognized as a cultural property.
