Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox royalty Template:Infobox Chinese
King Yi of Zhou (Template:Zh), personal name Ji Jian, was a king of the Chinese Zhou dynasty. Estimated dates of his reign are 899–892 BC or 899–873 BC.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
King Yi's reign is poorly documented. The first year of his reign is confirmed by a solar eclipse on April 21, 899. He was succeeded to the throne by his uncle King Xiao, who was in turn succeeded by King Yi's son King Yí, who was "restored by the many lords". He is said to have moved from the capital to a locality called Huaili. This hints that he was removed from power by his uncle, but the matter is uncertain.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="han">Template:Cite book</ref> Yi's grandson was King Li of Zhou.<ref>Liu Xueqin 劉學勤 (1992).
