King Xiang of Qi (齊襄王 Qí Xiāng Wáng; died 265 BC) was from 283 to 265 BC king of Qi, one of the seven major states of the Warring States period of ancient China. King Xiang's personal name was Tian Fazhang (田法章), ancestral name Gui (媯), and King Xiang was his posthumous title.

At the time of King Min of Qi, the kingdom was invaded and the king himself was captured and killed in 284 BC. His son, Fazhang, fled, changing his name, and "became a servant in the home of the Grand Astrologer." There, the astrologer's daughter met and fell in love with him. Later, some of the loyal officers of Qi put Fazhang on the throne, and he made the astrologer's daughter, his queen; she was the mother of his successor. She is known as Queen Jun and was said to be a wise and honorable woman who helped run the affairs of state. However, her father, Ji, was angry that she had married without his consent and refused to see his daughter ever again.

King Xiang reigned for 19 years and died in 265 BC. He was succeeded by his son, King Jian of Qi.

齊襄王（？ - 前265年），本名田法章，齊湣王之子。湣王死於楚國將軍淖齒之手，法章到莒城太史敫家中作佣人。前283年莒人立法章為齊王，是為齊襄王。其後即墨的田單用計破燕軍，迎接襄王返回都城臨淄，但此時齊國已大傷元氣，無法強盛如昔。法章回國後第一件事就是接太史敫的女兒成婚，冊封為王后，史稱君王后。但太史敫表示「女無謀（通『媒』）而嫁者，非吾種也，污吾世矣」，當即宣布脫離父女關係，終身不見君王后。襄王死後，其與君王后之子田建即位，並由君王后輔政。另有子田假。後來，齊國被秦國所滅，子孫避免被追殺，避諱故改以「法」為氏。

有一次襄王等人經過淄水，見一老人涉水，受不住寒凍，出水後無法行走，田單就脫下皮衣，給他穿上。襄王看了很不舒服，認為田單在收買人心。貫殊給他出主意，勸他不如順水推舟，嘉勉田單的善事，讓老百姓知道田單愛民是君王教的。

田齊桓公辦理稷下學宮，齊威王、齊宣王時期，稷下遊學人士達到鼎盛，集結了一大批各個學派的學者。荀子（孫況、孫卿）遊學于齊國，至襄王時代被尊為「最為老師」，多次擔任「祭酒」，成就了百家爭鳴的佳話。
