Liu Chen, (Traditional Chinese: 劉諶; pinyin: Liu Chen),?-263) Prince of Beidi was the fifth son of Liu Shan, the second ruler of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period of China. Liu Chen opposed the plans of Qiao Zhou to surrender to the opposing force under Deng Ai of Wei. Liu Chen attempted to convince his father to fight for the honor of Shu, so Liu Bei (the founder of Shu) could look upon him as a redeemed ruler of Shu. However, Liu Shan threw Liu Chen out of the court for this. After hearing of the surrender of the Shu Kingdom, he went to Liu Bei's ancestral temple and killed his wife and children before committing suicide.

His story is reenacted in a play of the Yue opera.
