Zhao Yun (died 229) is a general who lives during the late Han Dynasty and early Three Kingdoms era of Chinese history.

For most of his career, Zhao serves the warlord Liu Bei, playing a part in the establishment of state of Shu Han.

In literature and folklore, he is lauded as the third member of the Five Tiger Generals.

Due to limits in historical records, many facts about Zhao's life remain unclear or unknown.

The original records in Chen Shou's Records of Three Kingdoms are only a couple of hundred words long.

Pei Songzhi's 5th-century annotations to the work provide a relatively clear, though still incomplete, picture of Zhao's life.
