Yuan Zhen (died 10 April 370), courtesy name Yanren, was a Chinese military general of the Eastern Jin dynasty. He had a long career serving the Jin dynasty but he was mostly known for his rebellion in November or December 369. After failing to build a canal to secure the Jin forces' supply route during Huan Wen's campaign against Former Yan, Huan Wen was quick to blame Yuan Zhen after he returned defeated. In response, Yuan Zhen revolted in Shouchun in late 369 but would die not long after. His son Yuan Qin continued the rebellion, but he was defeated and executed in 371.
