劉安南京淮安府宿遷縣(今江蘇省宿遷縣),明朝軍事將領、寧遠侯

劉安繼承其父劉榮伯爵爵位,正統十四年,與郭登鎮守大同。當時明朝在土木之變中戰敗,明英宗被俘。也先持明英宗到城下,請郭登出見,郭登不肯。劉安出見,在英宗面前伏地而哭。明景帝得知後,降敕切責。劉安馳至京師,稱奉上皇命來告敵情,並稱自己被封為侯爵。群臣聽後紛紛交相彈劾,於是下詔論死。恰逢當時京師戒嚴,劉安被釋放並擔任總兵官,京師保衛戰中負責鎮守東直門。保衛戰獲勝後,劉安晉升為都督同知,守備白羊口,恢復伯爵爵位。明英宗發動奪門之變後,再封其寧遠侯,並世襲,再增俸祿三百石。曹石之亂時,劉安受傷,加封為太子少傅。成化年間去世,贈嶧國公,謚忠僖[1]
