Yang Zuo was a military general serving under the warlord Gongsun Yuan during the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. In 238, he led a front of troops along with Bei Yan during Sima Yi's Liaodong campaign against Gongsun. Yang then engaged Sima during a protracted battle, but ended up being lured out by Sima and defeated. He then escaped into Xiangping (襄平), Gongsun's headquarters, and surrendered to Sima when the city was under siege.
