Cai Wenji (Chinese: 蔡文姬; Pinyin: Cài Wénjī; b. 177), also known as Cai Yan, was a Han Dynasty poet and composer. She was the daughter of Cai Yong, also a musician. Her courtesy name was originally Zhaoji, but it was changed to Wenji during the Jin Dynasty to avoid a naming conflict with Sima Zhao.

She spent part of her life as a prisoner of the Xiongnu tribe, until Cao Cao paid a heavy sum to redeem her in 207.
