Xiao Yedan (Chinese: 小叶丹; 1894 – 18 June 1942) was a Chinese Yi chieftain based in Sichuan. In May 1935, when a detachment of the Chinese Red Army led by Liu Bocheng entered the Yi ethnic area in Liangshan, Sichuan, Xiao met with Liu and swore a blood oath with him in accordance with Yi customs, forming the Yi-Hai Alliance among the Yi people and the Red Army.
