Tiefu (Simplified Chinese: }}}; Traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: ) was a pre-state Xiongnu tribe during the era of Sixteen Kingdoms in China. Its chieftain Liu Bobo established the state of Xia in 407 and changed his family name into Helian.

Although the Xia only lasted up to 431, its capital Tongwan (in Ordos) was certainly a heavily fortified and state-of-the-art city that would serve as a frontier garrison until the Song Dynasty. Its ruins was discovered in Qing Dynasty and can still be seen in present-day Inner Mongolia.

All rulers of the Xia declared themselves "emperors".
