Sima Fu (simplified: 司馬孚, traditional: 司馬孚, pinyin: Sīmǎ Fú), courtesy name Shuda (叔達), was Sima Yi’s younger brother and one of the “Eight Das” sons of Sima Fang. He served the Cao Wei court as a senior official and was known for maintaining loyalty to the Wei emperor even as his brother Sima Yi and nephews Sima Shi and Sima Zhao consolidated power. He participated in the Gaoping Tombs Coup (249) but was said to have protected the young emperor Cao Fang. When Cao Huan abdicated to Sima Yan in 265, Sima Fu reportedly wept and swore loyalty to the House of Wei. He lived into the Jin dynasty and held high office (Grand Marshal, Grand Tutor); he was posthumously honoured as “Uncle of the State” (安平獻王) by the Jin court. His son Sima Wang (司馬望) served as General Who Conquers the West.
