Empress Xiao Xian Zhuang (Chinese: 孝献庄皇后董鄂氏; a.k.a. Consort Dong'e 董鄂妃) 1639 - 1660 was the fourth Empress Consort of the Qing Dynasty Shunzhi Emperor of China. She was the daughter of the Minister of Domestic Affair Esho (Chinese: 内大臣鄂硕), and she was from the Dong-e clan. She entered the imperial court at the age 18, and was extremely appreciated and loved by the Shunzhi Emperor. In August of the 13th year of Shunzhi's reign, Dong-e was elevated to "Consort Xian" (贤妃), and in December the same year, was again elevated to the "Imperial Noble Consort". The elevation ceremony of Dong-e was as magnificent as the elevation ceremony of an empress, and was announced to the public. After Dong'e died in 1660 aged 21, the Shunzhi Emperor stopped to attend court audiences for 5 days, and Dong'e was posthumously elevated to empress.

Empress Donge's full posthumous title is:

  • "Empress Xiao Xian Zhuang He Zhi De Xuan Ren Wen Hui Duan Jing"
  • (Chinese: 孝献庄和至德宣仁温惠端敬皇后)
