The Huyan (; LHC: *ha(C)-jan H/B) was a noble house that led the last remnants of the Northern Xiongnu to Dzungaria in the second century after the Battle of the Altai Mountains.
The House of Huyan emerged during the political organization that came under Modu's reign which saw the Xiongnu reach its apogee. It is an earlier maternal lineage name subsequently replaced by Xubu, much as the Ashina and Yujiulu. The Mongol Khiyad tribe's name is probably derived from Huyan.
