Zhuan Zhu (Chinese: 專諸; died 515 BCE) was an assassin who lived during the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China.

During the late 6th century BCE, Zhuan Zhu was hired by Prince Guang to assassinate King Liao of Wu in order to take the throne for himself. In 515 BCE, Zhuan Zhu succeeded in this deed by assassinating Liao in a party with a dagger hidden in a fish.. Centuries later, Zhuan Zhu, alongside Cao Mo, Yu Rang, Nie Zheng and Jing Ke, was listed by the historian Sima Qian as one of China's earliest assassins, known to later generations as "the Five Great Assassins."
