Cao Xiong was the son of the powerful warlord Cao Cao, by his second wife Princess Bian, and lived during the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period in ancient China. He died young, but the cause of death was undocumented in historical records.

(According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a 14th century historical novel by Luo Guanzhong, Cao Xiong hanged himself when he heard that his elder brother Cao Pi, who succeeded Cao Cao, was going to punish him for failing to turn up for their father's funeral.)

In 234, Cao Xiong was posthumously given the title of Prince Huai of Xiao (蕭懷王), and his son Cao Bing (曹炳) inherited his titles.
