Emperor Xiaozhao of Northern Qi ((北)齊孝昭帝) (535 – c.late November 561), personal name Gao Yan (高演), courtesy name Yan'an (延安), was an emperor of the Chinese Northern Qi dynasty. He was generally considered a capable ruler, but ruled for less than two years before dying from injuries suffered from falling off a horse. The Northern Qi dynasty would not have another capable ruler after his death. He was only 26 when he died.

The month corresponds to 23 Nov to 21 Dec 561 in the Julian calendar. His successor Emperor Wucheng ascended the throne on the gui'chou day of that month, which corresponds to 3 Dec 561 in the Julian calendar.
