- This article refers to the Han-founded kingdom in what is now Gansu, whose sovereigns were ancestors of the eventual Tang Dynasty emperors. For the dynasty in what is now Hubei, see Liang Dynasty.
The Western Liang (; 400-421) was a state of the Sixteen Kingdoms in China. It was founded by the Li family of the Han Chinese. The founder of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan (Emperor Gaozu), traced his ancestry to the Western Liang rulers.
All rulers of the Western Liang proclaimed themselves "wang".
