Shi Xie (137–226), courtesy name Weiyan, also known by his Vietnamese name Sĩ Nhiếp, was an official who lived during the Eastern Han dynasty and early Three Kingdoms period of China.

After his death, the Vietnamese attached many legends to him and honoured him as King Sĩ in some temples.

His line became one of the two most honored during the subsequent Southern Dynasties—the other being Wang Dao's line—and in the minds of the people no less honored than imperial clans.
