Sun Jun (219 – 19 October 256), courtesy name Ziyuan, was a military general and regent of the state of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period of China. Known to be brave and skilled in some warrior arts, he served under his kinsman and founding Wu emperor Sun Quan and was given the important role to help protect the young second Wu emperor, Sun Liang. Sun Jun overthrew and personally slew the regent Zhuge Ke, but took power for himself. His own regency would be destabilized by plotting due to his severity and lechery; he would kill (and sleep with) members of the imperial Sun clan.
