Sima Mo (司馬模) (died c.October 311), courtesy name Yuanbiao (元表),[4] was a Western Jin imperial prince. He was the youngest brother of Sima Yue, Prince Xiaoxian of Donghai, a regent for Emperor Hui and Emperor Huai. He was also the father of Sima Bao, who briefly contended for the position of emperor after Emperor Min was captured by Han-Zhao forces.

- ^ Sima Mo's eldest son Sima Bao was born in 294. In addition, Sima Xiao's (born in 270) biography in Book of Jin recorded that he was younger than Mo. (虓与从兄平昌公模...) Jin Shu, vol.37. Thus, Sima Mo's birth year should be before 270.

Emperor Huai's biography in Jin Shu dated the event to the 8th month of that year; in vol.04 of Zizhi Tongjian Kaoyi, Sima Guang cited a letter by Liu Kun indicating Sima Mo (referred to as "Pingchang" in the letter, presumably because of his previous title of Duke of Pingchang) was killed in the 9th month.
