Liu Xuan (died 4 December 308), courtesy name Shize, was a Xiongnu politician of the Jin dynasty and Han-Zhao dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. In 304, he joined a plot led by the Xiongnu aristocracy to break away from the ruling Jin dynasty. He was important in getting his great-nephew, Liu Yuan, to lead the Xiongnu and form Han-Zhao. After the state's establishment, Liu Xuan became its first prime minister and played an influential role in its administration.
