Shen Yang was the ruler of the Kingdom of Henan of the Eighteen Kingdoms during the Chu–Han contention period of Chinese history.
Shen was from Xiaqiu (瑕丘). He was originally a subordinate of Zhang Er, the Left Chancellor of the insurgent Zhao kingdom. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty in 206 BC, Xiang Yu divided the former Qin Empire into the Eighteen Kingdoms. Shen was appointed by Xiang as "King of Henan" and granted part of the former Han kingdom's territory as his fief. In 205 BC, Shen surrendered to Liu Bang (later Emperor Gaozu of Han) and his kingdom became the Henan Commandery of Liu's Han Dynasty.
