Shi Yousan (1 December 1891 – 1 December 1940), courtesy name Hanzhang, was a Chinese general of the National Revolutionary Army (NRA) who served as the 9th Governor of the Chahar and 3rd Governor of Anhui provinces in the Republic of China. Shi joined, defected from, then subsequently betrayed the forces of Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang, Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei, Zhang Xueliang, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Due to his numerous betrayals and defections, most notably the triple betrayal of Feng Yuxiang in 1926, 1929, and 1930, he is known as the 'Defector General' (倒戈將軍; Dǎogē Jiāngjūn), 'Shi Sanfan' (石三翻; Shí sānfān; 'Shi [who] turns three times'), and the 'Slave of Six Surnames' (六姓家奴; Liù xìng jiānú). In 1940, while leading the 39th Army Group of the NRA, he planned to defect to the Japanese. Before he could do so, he was kidnapped and buried alive by his sworn brother and subordinate Gao Shuxun, who later gained command of Shi's unit.
