Marquess Jing of Zhao (c. 410 -375 BCE) was a ruler of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period of Chinese history (475-220 BCE). Born Zhào Zhāng (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ), he was the son of Marquess Lie of Zhao.

In 386 BCE, the first year of his reign, Marquess Jing moved the Zhao capital from Zhōngmóu (中牟) (modern Tangyin County, Henan) to Hándān, Hebei (邯郸) where two large districts were set up. One of these was the administrative district Gōngchéng (宫城区) and the other the Dàbĕi commercial area (大北城) and Hándān quickly prospered.

In the second year of his reign Marquess Jing prevailed over the State of Qi at a battle that took place in the area between Gāotáng (高唐) and Chípíng (茌平).

Marquess Jing was succeeded by his son Marquess Cheng of Zhao.
