Xiao Chaogui (simplified Chinese: 萧朝贵; traditional Chinese: 蕭朝貴; pinyin: Xiāo Cháoguì; c. 1820 – September 1852) was an important leader during the early years of the Taiping Rebellion against the Qing dynasty of China. He was a sworn brother to Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the Taipings, and claimed to serve as a mouthpiece for Jesus Christ. Because of his importance to the rebellion, he was awarded the title of the "West King."
