Chiefdom of Yao'an (), ruled by the Gao clan, was a Bai autonomous Tusi chiefdom during Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The chiefdom was located at the convergence of modern-day Yunnan and Sichuan provinces.
The Gao clan were descendants of Gao Shengtai, who was the emperor of the short-lived Dazhong state which existed from 1094 to 1096. The Gao clan ruled Yao'an for more than 700 years, surviving several dynastic changes in China, until its last ruler Gao Houde was arrested by Qing Chinese in 1725. In 1729, Yao'an was fully annexed into the central bureaucratic system of the Qing dynasty.
