Wen Zhong (Chinese: 文種; pinyin: Wén Zhòng) (died 472 BC) was an advisor in the state of Yue in the Spring and Autumn period.
After Yue was defeated by the state of Wu in 494 BC, Wen Zhong bribed Bo Pi, the advisor to the leader of Wu, King Fuchai, in order to make peace.
After his release, Goujian slowly rebuilt Yue with advice from Wen and Fan Li.
A decade after returning to Yue, Goujian started a new war with Wu, and defeated Fuchai, who committed suicide.
Upon receiving the letter, Wen Zhong declined to go to court, citing an illness.
