Zhang Chang (died 304), also known as Li Chen, was a Man rebel during the Jin dynasty (266–420). In 303, Zhang Chang led a great rebellion against Jin in Jingzhou. Under the guise of restoring the Han dynasty, Zhang Chang propped up a man named Qiu Chen (丘沈), whom he renamed Liu Ni (劉尼), to be a descendant of the Han emperors and the nominal leader of the rebellion. At its peak, Zhang Chang's rebellion encompassed most of the provinces of Jing, Jiang, Xu, Yang and Yu. Despite causing much trouble for Jin, the rebellion only lasted a year before the Inspector of Jingzhou, Liu Hong, defeated and killed him in 304.
