Zhu Shizhen (Chinese: 朱世珍; pinyin: Zhū Shìzhēn; 1281–1344), born Zhu Wusi (Chinese: 朱五四; pinyin: Zhū Wǔsì), was the father of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming dynasty. He was a native of Jurong (present-day Jurong, Jiangsu). His father, Zhu Chuyi, moved to Xuyi, Si Prefecture (present-day Xuyi, Jiangsu), and Zhu Shizhen moved again to Zhongli, Haozhou (present-day Fengyang, Anhui).

His wife was Lady Chen, posthumously Empress Chun. He had four sons — the eldest, Zhu Chongsi the Prince of Nanchang (Zhu Xinglong), the second, Zhu Chongliu the Prince of Xuyi (Zhu Xingsheng), the third, Zhu Chongqi the Prince of Linhuai (Zhu Xingzu), and the fourth was Zhu Yuanzhang the Hongwu Emperor — and two daughters — Grand Princess of Cao (mother of Li Wenzhong) and Grand Princess Taiyuan.

In 1344, there was a great drought in Huaibei, and Zhu Shizhen, Lady Chen, and Zhu Xinglong the Prince of Nanchang, died successively.

In 1363, Han Lin'er posthumously gave Zhu Wusi the titles Kai fu yi tong san si, Shang zhu guo, Lu jun guo zhong shi, Zhong shu you cheng xiang, Tai wei, and Wu guo gong. His wife, Lady Chen, was posthumously given the title Gong furen.

In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming dynasty in Nanjing and posthumously honoured Zhu Shizhen as emperor, with the temple name Renzu (仁祖) and posthumous name Emperor Chun (淳皇帝). His tomb was Ming Imperial Mausoleum in Fengyang.
