Guan Jing (?-199), style name: Shiqi (士起), was born in Taiyuan, Shanxi and served as Gongsun Zan's Chief Clerk. It was stated as an official, he used to display cruelty and was unable to grasp the big picture. Despite these faults, he was one of Gongsun Zan's most trusted subordinates.

In the year 198, during the Battle of Yijing, Gongsun Zan desired to break out of Yuan Shao's encirclement of the fortress in order to meet up with the reinforcements his son Gongsun Xu and Zhang Yan brought over, as well as harass Yuan Shao's rear. Guan Jing advised against such a move, and instad reccomended that Gongsun Zan remain inside the city, and hold out for as long as possible for Gongsun Xu and Zhang Yan to bring reinforcements. The following year however, Yuan Shao deceived Gongsun Zan into riding out and subsequently overran the city walls, Gongsun Zan committed suicide in despair after this crushing defeat. Guan Jing, feeling regretful about the situation and Gongsun Zan's death, charged head-on into Yuan Shao's forces, and was slain. His head was then subsequently sent to Xuchang to report Yuan Shao's victory to the court.
