Empress Yan (閻皇后, personal name unknown) was an empress of the Chinese/Di state Cheng Han. Her husband was Li Qi. He created her empress in 334 after he seized the throne following his brother Li Yue (李越)'s assassination of their father Li Xiong's designated heir, their cousin Li Ban. There was no further mentioning of her in historical records, and it is not known whether she was still alive at the time that Li Qi was overthrown by his father's cousin Li Shou in 338.
