Dou Wu (Chinese: 竇武; died 25 October 168[1]), courtesy name Youping (游平), was a Chinese philosopher and politician of the Eastern Han dynasty. He was known as a Confucian scholar and served as a low-level official during the reign of Emperor Huan until his daughter Dou Miao was elevated from imperial consort to empress, which caused him to be promoted, eventually to become one of the most important imperial officials when his daughter became empress dowager and regent for Emperor Ling. He, along with Chen Fan, attempted to curb the eunuchs' power and install Confucian scholars in imperial government, but after a plot by him and Chen to exterminate the most powerful eunuchs was discovered, he was defeated in battle and committed suicide.
^According to Liu Hong's biography in Book of the Later Han, Chen Fan and Dou Wu, among others, were killed on the xinhai day of the 9th month of the 1st year of the Jianning era of his reign. This corresponds to 25 Oct 168 in the Julian calendar. [(建宁元年)九月辛亥，中常侍曹节矫诏诛太傅陈蕃、大将军窦武...] Houhanshu, vol.08
