Wang Chuzhi (862–922), courtesy name Yunming, formally the Prince of Beiping, was a warlord late in the Chinese Tang dynasty and early in the subsequent Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, who ruled Yiwu Circuit as its military governor (Jiedushi) from 900 and as its de jure sovereign from 910 to 921, when he was overthrown by his adoptive son Wang Du.

Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period
The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period was an era of political upheaval and division in Imperial China from 907 to 979. Five dynastic states quickly succeeded one another in the Central Plain, and more than a dozen concurrent dynastic states, collectively known as the Ten Kingdoms, were established elsewhere, mainly in South China. It was a prolonged period of multiple political divisions in Chinese imperial history.
