Xiao Chen Tao (小臣妥; died in the 1100s BCE), was a Chinese princess, the daughter of king Wu Ding.^[1]

Wu Ding granted Tao her own personal fief, and elevated her to a ministerial position, xiao chen, by which she is now referred. While her political acts are not very well known, her enfranchisement corroborates the high position of women in Shang China.
