Wen Chou (pronunciationⓘ) (died 200) was a military general serving under the warlord Yuan Shao during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China.

The small but elite cavalry force scored a brilliant victory over the disorganised enemy and killed Wen Chou in battle.

This comment foreshadows the appearance of Wen Chou in chapter 26, where he volunteers to avenge his close friend Yan Liang, who is killed in the Battle of Boma by Guan Yu.

Brandishing his poleaxe, Xu Huang charges towards Wen Chou but has to retreat when a band of enemy soldiers come to their commander's rescue.

Leading a dozen riders, Guan Yu then cuts off Wen Chou's escape and engaged him in a duel.
