*''Dates: [[923]]-[[937]]''
The Later Tang Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty during China's [[Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period]].
Its rulers were of Shatuo Turkic descent. In [[923]] they overthrew the [[Liang Dynasty]], which had overthrown the [[Tang Dynasty]] in [[907]], and declared their new dynasty the Later Tang.
The Later Tang lasted only about 15 years before being replaced by the [[Khitan]] dynasty known as the [[Later Jin Dynasty]].
