Shi Chonggui (Chinese: 石重貴) (914 – 10 July 974), known in traditional Chinese historical sources as Emperor Chu of Later Jin (後晉出帝, "the exiled emperor") or Emperor Shao of Later Jin (後晉少帝, "the young emperor"), posthumously known in the Liao dynasty as the Prince of Jin (晉王), was the second and last emperor of China's Later Jin dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
The Later Jin dynasty had often been characterized as a puppet state of the emerging Khitan-led Liao dynasty. The help of their powerful northern neighbors was vital in the formation of the Later Jin, and the cession of the Sixteen Prefectures led to their derision as being the servants of the Liao dynasty. However, after the death of his biological uncle/adoptive father Shi Jingtang (Later Jin's founding emperor) in 942, Shi Chonggui defied Liao's Emperor Taizong, which led to the latter invading the territory of the Later Jin in 946 and 947, resulting in the destruction of the Later Jin.
