Prince Yi of the Blood (zh: 怡親王) was the title of peerage first given to Yinxiang, the 13th son of the Kangxi Emperor of China, then subsequently inherited by his descendants. It was created by Yinxiang's brother the Yongzheng Emperor. After a power struggle won by Empress Dowager Cixi, Zaiyuan, Sixth Prince Yi was put to death and the title was abolished.
