Lady Shao (fl. 4th century) was the wife of Liu Xia, a military general during the Jin dynasty (266–420). She was one of the few recorded women from her period to have fought in battle, commanding a small group of soldiers to save her husband from encirclement. After her husband’s death, she helped in quelling a mutiny by his former soldiers.
