Emperor Wen of Chen (522–566), personal name Chen Qian, courtesy name Zihua, is an emperor of the Chinese Chen Dynasty.

He is the nephew of the founding emperor, Emperor Wu (Chen Baxian), and after Emperor Wu's death in 559, the officials support him to be emperor since Emperor Wu's only surviving son, Chen Chang, is detained by rival Northern Zhou.

At the time he takes the throne, Chen had been devastated by war during the preceding Liang Dynasty, and many provinces nominally loyal to him are under control of relatively independent warlords.

During his reign, he consolidated the state against warlords, and he also seized territory belonging to claimants to the Liang throne, Xiao Zhuang and Emperor Xuan of Western Liang, greatly expanding Chen's territory and strength.
