Xin dynasty, (ad 9–25), short-lived dynasty in China formed by Wang Mang, whose usurpation of power from the ruling Liu family constituted an interim in the Han dynasty succession and resulted in historians splitting the Han into the Xi (Western) Han (206 bc–ad 25) and the Dong (Eastern) Han (ad 25–220) dynastic periods.
