Yelü Yanxi (1075 - 1128) (耶律延禧, pinyin: Yēlǜ Yánxĭ, posthumous Liao Tianzuodi 遼天祚帝, pinyin: Liáo Tiānzuòdì) was the last emperor of the Liao Dynasty. He succeeded his grandfather Daozong, and reigned from 1101 to 1125.

Then a general under the Liao, Yelü Dashi (耶律大石) met with Yelü Yanxi but withheld his support. Yelü Dashi fled to the west, where he established the Western Liao dynasty. Yelü Yanxi was captured by the Jin Dynasty in 1125. [1]
