Qiao Zhou (c.199^[2] - 270), courtesy name Yunnan, was an official and scholar of the state of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period of China. He previously served under Liu Zhang, the Governor of Yi Province (covering present-day Sichuan and Chongqing) in the late Eastern Han dynasty before becoming a subject of the warlord Liu Bei, who established the Shu Han regime in 221. He is particularly notable for being the teacher of many Shu Han officials. Among them are Chen Shou, Luo Xian, Du Zhen, Wen Li and Li Mi.

During his lifetime, Qiao Zhou was regarded as lacking talent and was not respected by many of his peers. Only Yang Xi regarded Qiao Zhou highly. Yang Xi even once said: "Like us, the later generations can never be as good as this great man." Because of this, Yang Xi earned praise from those individuals who also recognised Qiao Zhou for his talent.^[3]

Qiao Zhou served in the Shu Han government from the time when Liu Bei ascended the throne (in 221) to the fall of Shu in 263. He is remembered for persuading the Shu emperor Liu Shan to surrender to Wei in 263.

^ The Sanguozhi mentioned that Qiao Zhou died in the winter of the 6th year of the Taishi era (265-274) during the reign of Emperor Wu of Jin. Quote from Sanguozhi vol. 42: ([泰始]六年秋， ... 至冬卒。)
^ According to Qiao Zhou's biography in Sanguozhi, in the 5th year of the Taishi era of Sima Yan's reign (269), he remarked that he had just passed the age of 70 (by East Asian reckoning). ([泰始]五年，予常为本郡中正，清定事讫，求休还家，往与周别。周语予曰：“昔孔子七十二、刘向、杨雄七十一而没，今吾年过七十，庶慕孔子遗风，可与刘、杨同轨，恐不出后岁，必便长逝，不复相见矣。”) Sanguozhi vol. 42. Thus by calculation, his birth year should be in 199.
^ (又時人謂譙周無當世才，少歸敬者，唯戲重之，常稱曰：「吾等後世，終自不如此長兒也。」有識以此貴戲。) Sanguozhi vol. 45.
