Empress Xie (1135 – 13 June 1207) was a Chinese Empress consort of the Song Dynasty, married to Emperor Xiaozong of Song.
Xie was selected as a concubine for Xiaozong by empress dowager Wu, who lamented his disinterest in women after the death of his second empress, Empress Xia.[1] She had no surviving children with the emperor.
