Emperor Wu of Chen (503–559), personal name Chen Baxian, courtesy name Xingguo, nickname Fasheng, is the first emperor of the Chinese Chen Dynasty.

He first distinguishes himself as a Liang Dynasty general during the campaign against the rebel general Hou Jing, and he is progressively promoted.

In 555, he seizes power after a coup against his superior, the general Wang Sengbian, and in 557 he forces Emperor Jing to yield the throne to him, establishing the Chen Dynasty.

He dies in 559, and as his only surviving son Chen Chang is held by Northern Zhou as a hostage, he is succeeded by his nephew Chen Qian (Emperor Wen).
