Zhong Ren (Template:Zh, personal name Zǐ Yōng, Script error: No such module "Lang".) is traditionally held to be a Shang dynasty King of China.

In the Records of the Grand Historian he was listed by Sima Qian as the third Shang king, succeeding his father Tang (Script error: No such module "Lang".) and elder brother Wai Bing.

He was enthroned in the year of Dingchou (Script error: No such module "Lang".) with Yi Yin (Script error: No such module "Lang".) as his prime minister and Bo (Script error: No such module "Lang".) as his capital. He ruled for 4 years before his death.

He was given the posthumous name Zhong Ren (Script error: No such module "Lang".) and was succeeded by his nephew Tai Jia (Script error: No such module "Lang".).[1][2][3]

Oracle script inscriptions on bones unearthed at Yinxu do not list him as one of the Shang kings.[2][3]
