Xiao Xin (Chinese: 小辛, born Zi Song, Chinese: 子颂) was a Shang Dynasty King of China.
In the Records of the Grand Historian he was listed by Sima Qian as the twentieth Shang king, succeeding his older brother Pan Geng (Chinese: 盤庚). He was enthroned in the year of Jiawu (Chinese: 甲午) with Yin (Chinese: 殷) as his capital. He ruled for 3 years, was given the posthumous name Xiao Xin and was succeeded by his younger brother Xiao Yi (Chinese: 小乙).[1][2][3][4]
Oracle script inscriptions on bones unearthed at Yinxu alternatively record that he was the nineteenth Shang king.[3][4]
