Tufa Lilugu (Chinese: 禿髮利鹿孤; died April or May 402[1]), formally Prince Kang of Hexi (河西康王), was a prince of the Xianbei-led Southern Liang dynasty of China. He was a younger brother of the founder Tufa Wugu (Prince Wu). He was described as a capable ruler open to different opinions. He was also, somewhat contradictorily, described as having entrusted most important affairs of state to his talented brother Tufa Rutan (Prince Jing) who later succeeded him.

  1. ^ Volume 112 of Zizhi Tongjian recorded that Tufa Lilugu died in the 3rd month of the 1st year of the Yuanxing era of Sima Dezong's reign. This corresponds to 18 Apr to 17 May 402 on the Julian calendar.
