Xun Guan (303–?) was a Chinese military general of the Jin dynasty (266–420). She was an ancient Chinese heroine who famously led a group of soldiers into battle at the age of thirteen. She is said to have broken through enemy lines to call for reinforcements and prevent the city of Wancheng (宛城; in present-day Nanyang, Henan) from falling.
