Murong Yi (Chinese:慕容顗; died 386) was aruler of theXianbei-led ChineseWestern Yan dynasty. He was a son of theFormer Yan Prince of Yidu, Murong Huan (慕容桓), a son of the founder of Former Yan,Murong Huang.
In 386, after the temporary rulerDuan Sui was ambushed and killed by Murong Heng (慕容恆) andMurong Yong, they supported Murong Yi as the Prince of Yan. The Western Yan people—400,000 men and women—then abandonedChang'an, which had been theFormer Qin capital but had been captured by the prior Western Yan rulerMurong Chong -- to head back to their homeland in the east. While on the journey, however, Murong Heng's brother Murong Tao (慕容韜) killed Murong Yi at Linjin (臨晉, in modernWeinan,Shaanxi). He was replaced by Murong Chong's sonMurong Yao.
