King Huan of Zhou (; died 697 BC), personal name Ji Lin (姬林), was the fourteenth king of the Chinese Zhou dynasty[2] [3] and the second of the Eastern Zhou dynasty.

King Huan's father was King Ping's son, Crown Prince Xiefu (洩父). King Huan succeeded his grandfather in 719 BC.[4]

In 707 BC, the Eastern Zhou forces were defeated in the Battle of Xuge by Duke Zhuang of Zheng. King Huan himself was wounded by an arrow in the shoulder, and the defeat destroyed the prestige of the Zhou royal court.[5]

King Huan was succeeded by his son, King Zhuang, in 697 BC.
