King Shenjing of Zhou (Chinese: 周慎靚王; pinyin: Zhōu Shènjìng Wáng), personal name Jī Dìng, was the thirty-sixth king of the Chinese Zhou dynasty and the twenty-fourth of the Eastern Zhou.[1]
He was a son of his predecessor, King Xian of Zhou[2] and thus nephew of King Lie;[3] his paternal grandfather was King An of Zhou.[4] He reigned from 320 BC until his death in 315 BC.
Shenjing fathered his successor, King Nan of Zhou, who went on to have a very long reign.[5]
