Lu Zhi (died 312 or 315), courtesy name Zidao, was a Chinese politician of the Western Jin dynasty, and the Han-Zhao dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. He was a close confidant of the Prince of Chengdu, Sima Ying; throughout the War of the Eight Princes, Lu Zhi provided Sima Ying with vital advice. Lu was praised by traditional historians for encouraging his prince towards righteous decisions and remaining by his side, even after Sima Ying's fall from power and until his death in 306. After the war, he continued to serve the Jin government until his capture by the Xiongnu-led Han state, where he briefly served before he was executed for treason.
