King Lie of Zhou (Chinese: 周烈王; pinyin: Zhōu Liè Wáng), personal name Ji Xi, was a king of the Chinese Zhou dynasty.[1] He reigned from 375 BC to his death in 369 BC. His father was King An.[2]

During the reign of King Lie of Zhou, Duke Xian of Qin relocated the capital to Yueyang (in present-day Yanliang District of Xi'an), which marked the start of Qin's prosperity. In 371 BC, Duke Xian of Qin led troops to conquer six cities of the Han state. In 370 BC, King Wei of Qi visited the Zhou court, further solidifying his reputation.
