Guan Tianpei (simplified Chinese: ???; traditional Chinese: ???; Wade-Giles: Kuan T'ien-p'ei; 1781 - 26 February 1841) was a Chinese admiral of the Qing Dynasty who served in the First Opium War. His Chinese title was 'Commander-in-Chief of Naval Forces'.

In 1838; he established courteous relations with British Rear-Admiral Frederick Maitland. Guan fought in the First Battle of Chuenpee (1839); the Second Battle of Chuenpee (1841); and the Battle of the Bogue (1841). A British account described his death in the Anunghoy forts during the Battle of the Bogue on 26 February 1841:

'Among these; the most distinguished and lamented was poor old Admiral Kwan; whose death excited much sympathy throughout the force; he fell by a bayonet wound in his breast; as he was meeting his enemy at the gate of Anunghoy; yielding up his brave spirit willingly to a soldier's death; when his life could only be preserved through the certainty of degradation. He was altogether a fine specimen of a gallant soldier; unwilling to yield when summoned to surrender; because to yield would imply treason'.

The following day; his body was claimed by his family and a salute of minute-guns was fired from HMS Blenheim in his honour. Pictures From History
