Xiao Zhaoye (蕭昭業; 473^[1] – 7 September 494^[2]), often known by his posthumously demoted title of Prince of Yulin (鬱林王), courtesy name Yuanshang (元尚), childhood name Fashen (法身), was an emperor of the Chinese Southern Qi dynasty. He is known as the Prince of Yulin because that was the title he was posthumously demoted to after his granduncle Xiao Luan assassinated him in 494. During his brief reign, he was known as overly devoting his time on games and pleasure, unaware that the ambitious Xiao Luan had targeted him for removal. After his death, Xiao Luan briefly made his half-brother Xiao Zhaowen emperor, but then seized the throne himself.
