Yu Zhiding (Yü Chih-ting, traditional: 禹之鼎, simplified: 禹之鼎); ca. (1647–1709) was a Chinese painter during the Qing dynasty (1644–1912).

Yu was a native of Jiangdu (present-day Yangzhou) in Jiangsu province.[1] His style name was 'Shangji' (上吉) and his sobriquet was 'Shenzai' (慎齋). He served in the Imperial Painting Academy (廷畫院) during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor,[2] and his skills were valued by many noted contemporaries, including Chen Tingjing, Xu Qianxue, and Gao Shiqi, all of whom ordered portraits and other paintings from him.[3] Yu was taught by Lan Ying and painted landscapes, human figures, and bird-and-flower paintings. He retired from office in 1690 and settled in Taihu, Jiangsu.
