Shen Chong (died 324), courtesy name Shiju, was a military general of the Jin dynasty (266–420). He was a chief advisor to the powerful commander, Wang Dun who aided him in his insurrection against Emperor Yuan and the Jin court. After Wang's death, he and his compatriot, Qian Feng strongly opposed surrender and continued to fight against Emperor Ming's coalition. They were defeated in the end, and Shen was killed by one of his former subordinates.
