Hao Zhao (fl. 220–229), courtesy name Bodao, was a military general of the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period of China. He is best known for his victory at the siege of Chencang in 229 when he led a successful defence of Chencang against an invasion by a much larger army from Wei's rival state Shu Han. However, he died of illness not long after that.

  1. ^ While Hao Zhao's death year was not recorded, he died soon after the siege of Chencang, which took place in early 229. Thus, it is likely that he died in 229.
