隋代
秦(?
617年～
618年)
薛举（？-618年），中国隋代末年群雄之一，祖籍河东汾阴（今山西万荣县），父亲薛汪时移居到金城（今甘肃兰州一带）。
薛举武勇豪迈，加上家中有财产，在地方上结集许多豪杰人士，后担任金城的校尉。
大业13年（617年），隋朝衰落，各地大乱，金城一带饥民和盗贼起事，金城令郝瑗受命募兵镇压，
薛举以势胁迫与他一起将地方官逮捕，开仓救齐灾民而获得支持。他号称西秦霸王，年号泰兴，击败隋的地方军队，占领陇西地区，随即称帝于兰州。其后欲进攻关中，为李世民所败，
薛举因此有降唐之心。但郝瑗反对，于是欲联合突厥莫贺咄设合攻长安，但为莫贺咄设为李世民所怀柔而失败。
618年再度与唐朝军队作战，唐朝将领刘文静、殷开山等因轻敌而被
薛举击败，欲顺势进攻长安时病死，由他的儿子薛仁杲继任，给他谥号武帝。史书上记载
薛举性格较为残忍，对战俘加以杀害，甚至使用割舌鼻等酷刑，因此无法获得人民广泛的支持。
