Zhang Cheng (178–244), courtesy name Zhongsi, was a military general of the state of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period of China. He was the eldest son of Zhang Zhao, a senior official who served under Sun Quan, the founding emperor of Wu.
In 234, Sun Quan ordered Zhang Cheng, Sun Shao and Zhu Huan to lead Wu forces to attack the Wei garrison at Huaiyin, in conjunction with the Fifth Northern Expedition by their ally state, Shu Han. All of these attacks failed, although Zhang Cheng's campaign made some progress.
