Zhu Min (Chinese: 朱敏; pinyin: Zhū Mǐn; 18 April 1926 – 13 April 2009), originally Zhu Minshu (朱敏书) and also known as He Feifei (贺飞飞), was a Chinese professor of Russian at Beijing Normal University. She was the only daughter of the Chinese revolutionary Zhu De.

Born in Moscow to parents from Sichuan, China, Zhu was raised by her grandmother in Chengdu and never had a close relationship with her mother. While studying in the Soviet Union as a teenager, she was captured by Nazis and held in a concentration camp until 1945. During her imprisonment she kept her identity a secret, telling no one that her father was a high-ranking Chinese military commander.

After the end of World War II, Zhu was able to return to Moscow and continue her studies. She graduated from Lenin Teachers' College in 1953, then moved back to China and taught Russian as a professor at Beijing Normal University. She retired from her position in 1986 and helped found what is now Beijing Military-Civilian Specialist College.

She died in 2009 after a prolonged period of illness and was cremated at Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery in Beijing.
