Du Zeng (died 319) was a Chinese military general and rebel of the Jin dynasty (266–420). In 312, he joined his fellow general, Hu Kang (胡亢), in rebelling against Jin from Jingling Commandery (竟陵, roughly modern Jingmen, Hubei), but later killed him and assumed leadership of the rebellion. Du Zeng, along with another rebel leader, Du Tao, became a persistent threat to Jin in the south as he caused trouble in Jingzhou and Xiangzhou (湘州; in modern Hunan). Eventually, he was decisively defeated by the general, Zhou Fang in 317, before being captured and executed in 319.
