Li Chunyan (Chinese: 李春燕 or 李春鷰; died August 29, 939?[1][2][3]) was an empress of the Chinese Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period state Min. Her husband was Wang Jipeng (also known as Wang Chang during his reign, Emperor Kangzong).

- ^ Li Chunyan's husband Wang Chang was heavily implied to be killed on August 29, 939. She, his sons, and his brother Wang Jigong (王繼恭) were also said to be killed, implying that they were killed that night, but that is not completely clear. (The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Ten Kingdoms, in a side note, suggested that she committed suicide by slamming her head against a wall on July 31, 939 (the 13th day of the seventh lunar month), which appears to be clearly erroneous given that Wang Chang had not yet been overthrown or killed at that time. See Spring and Autumn Annals of the Ten Kingdoms, vol. 94.
