Duke Xuan of Qin (Chinese: 秦宣公; pinyin: Qín Xuān Gōng, died 664 BC), personal name unknown, was duke of the Qin state from 675 to 664 BC.[1][2]

Duke Xuan was the eldest of the three sons of his father Duke De and succeeded his father as ruler of Qin when Duke De died in 676 BC, aged 34. He reigned for 12 years and died in 664 BC. Although Duke Xuan had nine sons, he passed the throne to his younger brother Duke Cheng, who would in turn pass the throne to the third brother Duke Mu.[1][2]
