King Weilie of Zhou (Chinese: 周威烈王; pinyin: Zhōu Wēiliè Wáng), or King Weilieh of Chou, was the thirty-first king of the Chinese Zhou Dynasty and the nineteenth of Eastern Zhou. His given name was Wǔ, but his surname was Jī.
His reign started in 425 BC, after his father King Kao of Zhou had died.
He officially established three breakaway provinces of Jin (Hán, Wèi and Zhào) as feudal states, to act as a buffer between his royal domain and Qin (nominally one of his subjects).
King Weilie fathered his successor King An of Zhou.
