The Temple of the Qian Kings, also known by its Chinese name as the Qianwang or Qian Wang Temple, is a Chinese temple in Hangzhou, China, honoring the Qian family who ruled as kings of Wuyue in the 10th-century interregnum between the Tang and Song dynasties. Owing to the general lack of plural markers in Chinese, it is frequently understood as a temple specifically honoring Qian Liu, the first of the Wuyue kings, but it officially honors his entire dynasty.
