Ma Liang () was a Chinese Muslim General and a member of the Ma Clique. He was related to former Governor Ma Bufang of Qinghai, and he had 2,000 Chinese Muslim troops under his command around Gansu/Qinghai during the Kuomintang Islamic Insurgency in China (1950–1958). Chiang Kai-shek sent agents in May 1952 to communicate with him, and Chiang offered him the post of Commander-in-chief of the 103rd Route of the Kuomintang army, which was accepted by Ma. The CIA dropped supplies such as ammunition, radios, and gold at Nagchuka to Ma Liang. Ma Yuanxiang was another Chinese Muslim General related to the Ma family. Ma Yuanxiang and Ma Liang wreaked havoc on the Communist forces. In 1953, Mao Zedong was compelled to take radical action against them.
