King Yi of Zhou (ch 周夷王 zhōu yí wáng) or King I of Chou was the ninth sovereign of the Chinese Zhou Dynasty. Estimated dates of his reign are 885–878 BC or 865–858 BC[1]. He was preceded by his uncle, King Xiao of Zhou, who may have overthrown Yi's father. He is said to have boiled the ruler of the State of Qi in a cauldron.
