Zhouyu[a] (simplified Chinese: 州吁; traditional Chinese: 州籲; pinyin: Zhōu Yū, died 719 BC) was a son of Duke Zhuang of Wey who was briefly the Duke of Wey in 719 BC by murdering Duke Huan of Wey, his elder brother. Less a year into his reign, he was arrested in Chen (state) at the behest of Wey Minister Shi Que [zh] and killed. He was not given a posthumous name due to his being characterized as an usurper and due to his short reign.
