Zhu Zhanjun (27 March 1404 – 8 June 1466) was a prince of the Ming dynasty. He was the second son of the Hongxi Emperor, and his mother was Consort Li. On 1 December 1424, he was granted the title of Prince of Zheng (鄭王). Upon the death of the Hongxi Emperor, Empress Zhang ordered Zhu Zhanjun and his brother, Zhu Zhanshan (朱瞻墡), Prince of Xiang, to serve as regents until the Xuande Emperor ascended the throne. Later, when the Xuande Emperor personally led a campaign to Le'an, he also entrusted Zhu Zhanjun and Zhu Zhanshan with the responsibility of guarding Beijing. In 1429, Zhu Zhanjun was enfeoffed in Fengxiang Prefecture. In 1443, after the death of his tenth brother, Zhu Zhanshan (朱瞻埏), Prince Gong of Wei, Emperor Yingzong issued an edict reassigning Zhu Zhanjun to Huaiqing Prefecture. Before entering his princely establishment (王府), Zhu Zhanjun first stayed in Beijing, and the following year (1444), he went to his fiefdom. Zhu Zhanjun had a violent personality and was known to have killed people on multiple occasions with his stick. In an effort to control his behavior, Emperor Yingzong appointed the censor Zhou Ying (周瑛) as his chief secretary. Zhu Zhanjun's reign lasted for forty-two years until his death in 1466. He was given the posthumous name "Jing" (靖). Two years later, his son Zhu Qiying (朱祁鍈) succeeded him.
