Pan Feng (? - 189 AD), was a nonfictional Chinese military officer who served under the command of Han Fu, governor of Jizhou (present day southern Hebei), during the Three Kingdoms period of ancient China. He is mentioned only in Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms dramatic novel and, unlike the majority of characters featured within, Pan Feng appears to be entirely fictional. The actual historical accounts of the era, the Sanguo Zhi, make no reference to Pan Feng.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms

After the tyrant Dong Zhuo seized control of the Han Imperial Court through manipulation of the young and naive Emperor Xian, regional warlords throughout the land rose to oppose his control. Partaking in this coalition were many powerful nobles and officers, including Yuan Shu, Zhang Miao, Cao Cao and Han Fu under the command of the "General of Chariots and Cavalry", Yuan Shao. Pan Feng was one of many officers who accompanied Han Fu and the coalition forces as they marched on Luoyang in 189 AD, serving as Han Fu's shield against Dong Zhou's approaching armies. Feng was respected by his peers and held in high esteem by his lord, due to his skillful prowess in battle.
