Sima Xiao (司馬虓; 270 - c.December 306), courtesy name Wuhui (武会), was a Western Jin imperial prince. He was a cousin of Sima Yue, Prince Xiaoxian of Donghai, a regent for Emperor Hui and Emperor Huai, and sided with Sima Yue when Yue became active in the War of the Eight Princes. Sima Xiao was the son of Sima Sui (司馬绥; posthumously known as Prince Kang of Fanyang (范阳康王)), who was the youngest son of Sima Yi's brother Sima Kui (司馬馗), making Xiao a second cousin of Jin's founding emperor Emperor Wu. Sima Sui was a younger brother of Sima Tai (司馬泰; posthumously known as Prince Wenxian of Gaomi (高密文献王)), father of Sima Yue, Sima Teng, Sima Lue and Sima Mo. When Sima Sui died in August 278, Sima Xiao inherited the title of Prince of Fanyang at the age of eight. When Sima Xiao was young, he was noted to be studious and articulate in conversations. Among members of the Sima clan, he, his cousin Sima Mo (Prince of Nanyang), and Sima Rui (the future Emperor Yuan) were praised. In May 290, when Sima Xiao was about 20 years old, Emperor Wu died. Emperor Wu's successor, Emperor Hui was developmentally disabled; his reign saw a series of regents who ruled on his behalf. Xiao's activities during the regencies of Yang Jun (father of Emperor Wu's second wife Empress Yang Zhi), Sima Liang and Wei Guan (who were co-regents), Empress Jia Nanfeng (Emperor Hui's first wife) and Sima Lun (Prince of Zhao) were poorly documented.
