Yunyou (Chinese: 允祐; 19 August 1680 – 18 May 1730) was an imperial prince of the Qing dynasty and the seventh son of the Kangxi Emperor. In 1709, Yunyou was granted the title "Prince Chun of the Second Rank" by his father. He was promoted to "Prince Chun of the First Rank" in 1723.

The Prince Chun peerage was not awarded "iron-cap" status. This meant that each successive bearer of the title would normally start off with a title downgraded by one rank. Hongjing, Yunyou's sixth son, held the title of Prince Chun of the Second Rank from 1730 to 1777.

Yunyou was born in the 19th year of Kangxi reign, with a disability in his right leg. His birth mother was Consort Cheng of Daigiya clan, but he was raised by Consort Hui of Yehe Nara clan.
