Empress Gongshu Han (1165-1200) was a Chinese Empress consort of the Song Dynasty, married to Emperor Ningzong of Song.

She was the descendant of a prominent Northern Song official. She was selected as the primary consort of Ningzong, and appointed his empress after his succession. Empress Han and her family managed to attain influence over the affairs of state, backed by the so called 'War party', succeed in persuading Ningzong to depose and disgrace senior minister Zhao Ruyu and replaced him with her militarist relative, Han Tuozhou. ^[1]
