Zhou Wenju (Chinese: 周文矩) (fl. 942-961), also known as Chou Wen-chu, was a Chinese painter during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period (907–960). His exact birth and death dates are not known.

Zhou was born in Jurong, and specialized in figure painting.[1] He worked as a painter in attendance at the Painting Academy of the Southern Tang court. It is recorded that Zhou participated in executing a joint work at the banquet held by Emperor Yuanzong of Southern Tang on New Year's Day, 947.[2]
