Zhizhi Chanyu (郅支單於? died 36 BC) was a Chanyu of the Xiongnu at the time of the first Xiongnu civil war who held the north and west in contention with his younger brother Huhanye who held the south. His original name in Chinese transcription was Luanti Hutuwusi (攣鞮呼屠吾斯) i.e. one of the Worthy Princes of the East (of the Luandi clan). When the 12th Chanyu died in 60 BC power was seized by a distant relative.
