Cao Huan (pronunciationⓘ) (245/246–302/303[2]), courtesy name Jingming, was the fifth and last emperor of the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. On 4 February 266, he abdicated the throne in favour of Sima Yan (later Emperor Wu of the Jin dynasty), and brought an end to the Wei regime. After his abdication, Cao Huan was granted the title "Prince of Chenliu" and held it until his death, after which he was posthumously honoured as "Emperor Yuan (of Cao Wei)".[3]

^According to the Wei Shi Pu, Cao Huan was 58 (by East Asian reckoning) when he died in the first year of the Tai'an era during the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin. By calculation, his birth year should be either 245 or 246. (年五十八，太安元年崩) Wei Shi Pu annotation in Sanguozhi, vol. 04. The year corresponds to 14 Feb 302 to 02 Feb 303 in the Julian calendar.
