Duke Xuan of Wey (died 700 BC), personal name Ji Jin, was the fifteenth ruler of the state of Wey and its fourth Duke, ruling from 718 BC to 700 BC. He came to power following a succession crisis involving two of his brothers, but his nineteen-year reign saw numerous moral scandals and the decline of Wey into a minor state of the Spring and Autumn period. He had a son with his father Duke Zhuang's concubine Yi Jiang, and later took the son's betrothed, Xuan Jiang, as his own wife because she was beautiful.
