Prince Xian of the First Rank, or simply Prince Xian, was the title of a princely peerage used in China during the Manchu-led Qing dynasty (1644–1912). As the Prince Xian peerage was not awarded "iron-cap" status, this meant that each successive bearer of the title would normally start off with a title downgraded by one rank vis-à-vis that held by his predecessor. However, the title would generally not be downgraded to any lower than a feng'en fuguo gong except under special circumstances.
The first bearer of the title was Yunbi (允祕; 1716–1773), the 24th son of the Kangxi Emperor. In 1733, he was awarded the title "Prince Xian of the First Rank" by his fourth brother, the Yongzheng Emperor, who succeeded their father. The title was passed down over seven generations and was held by six persons.
