Zhong Hui (225–264) was a military general of the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms era of Chinese history. He was the son of Zhong Yao, a calligrapher and politician of Wei.
Zhong played a significant role in the conquest of Shu Han by Wei. Zhong and Deng Ai were equal in rank in the campaign against Shu, but Zhong always considered himself more skilled than Deng. He later befriended the Shu general, Jiang Wei, and they plotted to rebel against Deng, starting a rebellion in 264, but the rebellion failed after Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei were discovered planning to execute several officers; the enraged officers revolted and killed Zhong Hui at the age of 39.
