Gao Shaoyi (Chinese: 高紹義) (fl.550s-580), often known by his princely title Prince of Fanyang (Chinese: 范陽王), was an imperial prince of the Chinese Northern Qi dynasty. He claimed the Northern Qi throne in exile under the protection of Tujue after the rival Northern Zhou dynasty seized nearly all of Northern Qi territory and captured the emperors, Gao Shaoyi's cousin Gao Wei and Gao Wei's son Gao Heng in 577.^[1] In 580, Tujue, after negotiating a peace treaty with the Northern Zhou, turned Gao Shaoyi over to the Northern Zhou, and he was exiled to modern Sichuan, ending his claim on the Northern Qi imperial title. Most historians do not consider Gao Shaoyi a legitimate emperor of the Northern Qi.
