Zhang Lu (simplified Chinese: 张路; traditional Chinese: 張路; pinyin: Zhāng Lù; Wade–Giles: Chang Lu; c. 1464–1538)^[1][2] was a Chinese landscape painter during the Ming dynasty (1368–1644).

Zhang was born in Xiangfu (祥符; present-day Kaifeng, Henan) into a wealthy family and educated with princes of the imperial family. He attained great success as a professional painter but lived very simply, almost as a hermit.^[3] He began his study of painting by emulating the leading court painter, Wang E, but quickly turned from the academy to other models and masters.^[3] His courtesy name was Tianchi (天馳) and his pseudonym was Pingshan (平山). He was a student of Wu Wei.^[1] Zhang followed the Zhe school of painting. He painted landscapes and human figures in a free and uninhibited style.
