Peng Yue (died c.April 196 BC^[1]), courtesy name Zhong, was a Chinese military general and politician in the late Qin dynasty and early Western Han dynasty. He was involved in the Chu–Han Contention – a power struggle between the Han dynasty's founder, Liu Bang (Emperor Gao), and his rival, Xiang Yu – as an ally of Liu Bang. In recognition of his contributions, Liu Bang granted Peng Yue the title "King of Liang" (梁王) after the Han dynasty was established.

^ Vol.12 of Zizhi Tongjian indicated that Peng Yue's clan was executed and his head hung in Luoyang in the 3rd month of the 11th year of Liu Bang's reign (including his tenure as King of Han). The month corresponds to 19 Apr to 18 May 196 BCE in the proleptic Julian calendar. Thus, Peng Yue likely died in mid-April 196 BCE.
