King Xuanhui of Han (Chinese: 韓宣惠王; died 312 BC), also known as Marquess Wei of Han (Chinese: 韓威侯), personal name unknown, was a ruler of the Han state.[1] He ruled initially as marquess, and then as king since 323 BC.

In 325 BC, he met with King Hui of Wei, who honoured him as "king". However, Marquess Wei would only formally declare himself king in 323 BC, along with the rulers of four other states: Zhongshan, Wei, Yan, and Zhao.
