Sima Ying (司馬穎) (279[1] – c.December 306[2]), courtesy name Zhangdu (章度), was a Jin dynasty (266–420) imperial prince who served briefly as his brother Emperor Hui's regent and crown prince. He was the sixth of eight princes commonly associated with the War of the Eight Princes. His title was the Prince of Chengdu (成都王), but he did not receive any posthumous names.
^Sima Ying's biography in Book of Jin indicated that he was 28 (by East Asian reckoning) when he died. (...命徽缢之，时年二十八。) Jin Shu, vol.59. Thus by calculation, his birth year should be 279.
^Volume 86 of Zizhi Tongjian indicated that Sima Ying was forced to commit suicide in the 10th month of the 1st year of the Guangxi era. The month corresponds to 22 Nov to 21 Dec 306 in the Julian calendar.
