Qu Yi (fl. 190s; died 196-199[1]) was a military general serving under the warlord Yuan Shao during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China.

  1. ^ According to Gongsun Zan's biography in Book of the Later Han, Qu Yi defeated Gongsun Zan at Baoqiu during the 2nd year of the Xingping era of the reign of Emperor Xian of Han. This corresponds to 195 in the Julian calendar. After this battle, Gongzun Zan and Qu Yi had a stalemate lasting for over a year. While Qu Yi's year of death is not recorded, it is mostly likely that he died before 199, the year where Yuan Shao eliminated Gongsun Zan, as Qu Yi was not recorded to have taken part in the immediate battles leading up to Gongsun Zan's demise.
