Duke Zhao of Lu (Chinese: 魯昭公; pinyin: Lǔ Zhāo Gōng, 560 BC – 17 November 510 BC) was a ruler of the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China. His ancestral name was Ji (姬), given name Chou (稠), and Duke Zhao was his posthumous title.

Duke Zhao's reign was marked by continued dominance of three powerful cadet branches of the ducal family known as the Three Huan: Jisun, Mengsun, and Shusun. After a failed attempt of curbing the power of the Three Huan in 517 BC, he was forced into exile by them, though no new duke was proclaimed until after his death in 510 BC. The next year, Prince Song (宋), his younger brother, was made the new Duke of Lu. He would become known as Duke Ding of Lu.
