King Cuo of Zhongshan (323-309 BC) was the fifth ruler of the state of Zhongshan during the Warring States Period in ancient China. He reigned for 15 years.
As the son of Duke Cheng of Zhongshan, he inherited the state from his father and expanded it to its peak size. He attacked Yan to the north and Zhao to the south and expanded his territory to nearly double what he inherited. His new gains from Zhao broke the state of Zhao into North and South pieces, laying the future cause for the state of Zhao to destroy the country.
