The Cheng Han (Simplified Chinese character: 成汉, Traditional Chinese character: 成漢, pinyin Ch?ngh?n) (303 or 304-347) was a state of the Sixteen Kingdoms during the Jin Dynasty (265-420) in China. It represented two states, the Cheng state (成, pinyin Ch?ng) proclaimed in 304 by Li Xiong and the Han state (汉, pinyin H?n) in 338 by Li Shou. Since they were both ruled by the Li family of the Di ethnicity, scholars with Chinese backgrounds often combined them into a single Cheng Han state. Western texts frequently referred to the two states separately. The Chenghan was the earliest establishment of the kingdoms.

All rulers of the Cheng Han declared themselves "emperors".

The commonly accepted founding year of Cheng has been 304. Nevertheless Li Te declared a new era name in 303 and self-declaration of era name has been considered by some Chinese scholars to be a symbol of a new government.
