Jin Yuzhang (Chinese: 金毓嶂, born May 1942)[1] is an heir to the Qing emperors of China, though he himself does not care for the claim nor acknowledges it. He is a son of Jin Youzhi and a nephew of Puyi, the last emperor of China.[2][3] The last published succession rule for the Aisin Gioro clan, adopted in 1937, provides for succession by male descendants, brothers, and then half-brothers.[4] Jin Youzhi succeeded Pujie, Puyi's brother, as head of the clan in 1994. Jin Yuzhang succeeded his father in 2015.

Jin retired as vice-director of the Chongwen district government in Beijing in 2008.[1]
