Wu Xiang (Chinese: 吳襄; pinyin: Wú Xiāng; died 1644) was a general of the Ming dynasty and the father of Wu Sangui.
He was reprimanded by the Ming court in the 1630s for failing to join the fight against Nurhaci.
[1] The ruling forces of the short-lived Shun dynasty of late Imperial China took over his house, and Li Zicheng executed him.
[2] This contributed to the Wu Sangui's decision to oppose that regime, which hastened the downfall of the already crumbling Ming dynasty.
