Xiao He (Chinese: 蕭何; 257 BC – 16 August 193 BC) was a Chinese calligrapher and politician of the early Western Han dynasty. He served Liu Bang, later the founder of the Han dynasty, during the insurrection against the Qin dynasty, and fought on Liu's side in the Chu–Han Contention against Liu's rival, Xiang Yu. After the founding of the Han dynasty, Xiao He became the chancellor and held office until his death. For his contributions, he is also known as one of the "Three prominences of the early Han dynasty" (漢初三傑), along with Han Xin and Zhang Liang.
