Sima Fu (pronunciation) (180– 3 April 272[2]), courtesy name Shuda, was an imperial prince and statesman of the Jin dynasty of China.[1] He previously served as an official in the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period before his grandnephew, Sima Yan (Emperor Wu), usurped the Wei throne in 266 and established the Jin dynasty. Sima Guang, author of Zizhi Tongjian, claimed to be his descendant.
