He Jin (pronunciation ) (died 22 September 189), courtesy name Suigao, was a military general and regent of the late Eastern Han dynasty of China.
He was an elder half-brother of Empress He, the empress consort of Emperor Ling, and a maternal uncle of Emperor Shao.
In 189, he and his sister shared power as regents when the young Emperor Shao was put on the throne following Emperor Ling's death.
During the time, the conflict between He Jin and the influential eunuch faction intensified.
The eunuch faction lured He Jin into a trap in the imperial palace and assassinated him.
While He Jin's subordinates slaughtered the eunuch faction in revenge, the warlord Dong Zhuo took advantage of the power vacuum to enter the imperial capital Luoyang and seize control of the Han central government.
The subsequent breakdown of central command brought forth the beginning of massive civil wars which led to the end of the Han dynasty and the start of the Three Kingdoms period.
