Yuan Taotu (轅濤塗; died c. 625 BC, posthumous title 宣仲; Xuanzhong) was a nobleman and diplomat of the Spring and Autumn state of Chen.
[1] Yuan Taotu was a distant relative of the Chen royal family, with a fief at Yangxia (Taikang, Henan province).
On the return journey to the north, however, he suggested that the army of Qi pass by Chen and take a detour to the eastern regions.
The next year, Yuan Taotu was sent as representative of Chen to Diquan, to renew the state's allegiance to the King of Zhou and to consult about an invasion of Zheng.
In the winter of that same year, the Chen heir-apparent met with other princes, witnessing the investiture of the Duke of Jin as hegemon.
