King Shenjing of Zhou (Chinese: 周慎靚王; pinyin: Zhōu Shènjìng Wáng), personal name Ji Ding, was the penultimate king of China's Zhou dynasty.
He was a son of his predecessor, King Xian, and thus nephew of King Lie; his paternal grandfather was King An. He reigned from 320 BC until his death in 315 BC.
King Shenjing was succeeded by his son, King Nan, who went on to have a very long reign.
