Shang Shu of Jin (Chinese: 晉殤叔; pinyin: Jìn Shāng Shū; lit. 'Uncle Shang of Jin'), personal name unknown, was a ruler of the Jin state. He usurped the throne of Jin after his elder brother, Marquis Mu, died in 785 BC. After Shang Shu ascended the throne, Marquis Mu's son, Ji Chou (Marquis Wen), was forced to leave Jin in fear of his uncle.

In 781 BC, Ji Chou overthrew Shang Shu and ascended the throne as the next Jin monarch.
