Tulišen (also spelled Tulishen or Tulixen, Manchu: 15px, ; sometimes ; 1667–1741) was a Manchu official and diplomat during the early Qing dynasty.
Tulišen was a member of the Manchu Plain Yellow Banner in the Eight Banners and belonged to the Ayan Gioro clan (阿顔覺羅氏). In 1712, after having served in several minor positions in the Qing government, the Kangxi Emperor appointed him to the Qing embassy to Ayuka Khan (r. 1673-1724) of the Torghuts, who had migrated to the lower Volga River, where they had formed the Kalmyk Khanate under Peter I of the Russian Empire. The whole journey through Russia's Siberian territories took three years and Tulišen later recorded the journey in a famous travelogue (Narrative of the Chinese Embassy to the Khan of the Tourgouth Tartars), which was published in 1723. This fascinated many readers in Europe, and later appeared in English, German, Russian and French translations.
