Emperor An of Han China, ch 漢安帝, py. hàn ān dì, wg. Han An-ti, (94-125) was an emperor of the Chinese Han Dynasty.

Empress Dowager Deng brought up twelve-year-old Liu Hu, cousin of baby Emperor Shang of Han China and future Emperor An of Han China, in the palace to be the successor of the throne in case of anything happened to the baby emperor. Liu Hu acceded when Emperor Shang passed away in August or September 106. Dowager Deng still remained as regent.
