Lu Zhi (died 312 or 315), courtesy name Zidao, was a Chinese politician of the Jin dynasty (266–420) and Han-Zhao dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. He was a close confidant of the Prince of Chengdu, Sima Ying, who, throughout War of the Eight Princes, provided him with vital advice. He was praised by traditional historians for encouraging his prince towards righteous decisions and remaining by his side even after his 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-Zhao state, where he briefly served before he was executed for treason.
