Xiefu or Xie was the original Marquis of Jin (晋侯燮 Jìn Hóu Xiè), and the second ruler of the State of Jin during the early Zhou Dynasty. His ancestral name was Ji (姬), and given name Xie (燮) or Xiefu (燮父).

Marquis Xie succeeded his father, Shu Yu of Tang, as the ruler of the state of Tang. During his reign, he moved the capital from Tang (唐) to Jin (晋) and renamed the state Jin.

After he died, his son Ningzu succeeded him as Marquis Wu of Jin.

晋侯燮（？ - ？），姬姓，名燮，一作燮父，唐伯侯，是西周诸侯国晋国的第二任统治者。燮父为周成王之弟唐叔虞之长子，故称唐伯，继位后改国号唐为晋，去世后，子宁族继位，为晋武侯。

晋侯燮和齐国第二代君主齐丁公、卫国第二代君主卫康伯以及周公旦之子鲁公伯禽共事周康王。周康王分此三位诸侯以珍宝之器。而同事周康王的楚君熊绎却无分。春秋时代的公元前530年，楚灵王仍忿然提起此事。
