Cao Anmin (? - 197) was the nephew of the powerful Ancient Chinese warlord Cao Cao.
In 197, Cao Anmin followed Cao Cao on a campaign to take the province of Jingzhou (荆州, present day Hubei and Hunan). Zhang Xiu, a minor warlord who occupied Wancheng (宛城, present day Nanyang, Henan), surrendered to Cao Cao. Cao Cao then courted the wife of Zhang Xiu's remote uncle, which angered Zhang Xiu deeply. When Cao Cao learnt of this, he secretly plotted to murder Zhang Xiu. However, the plan leaked out and Zhang Xiu took the initiative to attack Cao Cao's camp in Wancheng.
Caught by surprise, Cao Cao's troops were greatly outnumbered. Trapped, Cao Anmin died protecting Cao Cao, along with Cao Ang and Dian Wei.
