Liu Guanxiong (; 1861, Fuzhou, Fujian – 1927, Tianjin) was a Chinese admiral from the late Qing dynasty and the early Republic of China who was Navy Minister of China, from 1912 to 1916 and from 1917 to 1919. When he was young he entered the Navy College of Fuzhou and was sent abroad to Britain. He was named Minister of the Navy and Commander-in-Chief upon the founding of the Republic of China. He was also Minister of Education (1913) and Transportation Minister (1912). During Yuan Shikai's rule as Emperor in 1915 he was named a Duke. Liu turned to Duan Qirui soon after Yuan's death, but the Chinese fleet became fractured and split due to Duan's refusal to validate the abolished Constitution.

International relations

Liu met with the vice chairman of Bethlehem Steel Archibald Johnston and American naval attache Irvin van Gillis in late December 1913 to gain his support for the construction of the Sanduao military port in Fuzhou. Liu agreed to this and allowed Johnson and Gillis to inspect the port and the shipyard in Mawei.
