Chen Hongjin (Chinese: 陳洪進) (914–985), courtesy name Jichuan (濟川), formally Duke Zhongshun of Qi (岐國忠順公), was a warlord late in the Chinese Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period, who controlled Qingyuan Circuit (headquartered in modern Quanzhou, Fujian). After a series of conquests by the Song dynasty, Chen, who was a vassal to Song, believed that it would be wise for him to surrender his realm, and did so. He subsequently remained honored as a Song general until his death.
