'''Xiahou Yuan''' was a general under [[Cao Cao]] during the [[Three Kingdoms]] period of [[China]].
Xiahou Yuan was born in the county of Qiao. He was a cousin of Cao Cao and very close to him, even during their younger days. Allegedly, a young Xiahou Yuan once Xiahou Yuan took the blame for a crime committed by Cao Cao, though he was later acquitted through efforts by Cao Cao. In 190, he joined Cao Cao's coalition against [[Dong Zhuo]]. He stayed with Cao Cao after that, becoming a general after the [[Battle of Guandu]].
Xiahou Yuan's record as a general was mixed. He was repeatedly defeated by [[Ma Chao]], but he ultimately succeeded in defeating Han Sui, Ma Chao's lord. He died at [[Mount Dingjun]], killed by [[Huang Zhong]].
