Xiao Yi (Chinese: 小乙, born Zi Lian, Chinese: 子敛) was a Shang Dynasty King of China.
In the Records of the Grand Historian he was listed by Sima Qian as the twenty-first Shang king, succeeding his older brother Xiao Xin (Chinese: 小辛). He was enthroned with Yin (Chinese: 殷) as his capital. In the sixth year of his reign he ordered his son Wu Ding (Chinese: 武丁) to live at He (Chinese: 河) and study at Ganpan (Chinese: 甘盘). He ruled for 10 years, was given the posthumous name Xiao Yi and was succeeded by his son.[1][2][3][4]
Oracle script inscriptions on bones unearthed at Yinxu alternatively record that he was the twentieth Shang king.[3][4]
