Wei Ju魏驹, historically known as Viscount Huan of Wei (魏桓子) or Viscount Xuan of Wei (魏宣子), was the leader of the Wei clan in the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period.
Alongside Zhao Wuxu赵无恤 (Viscount Xiang of Zhao赵襄子) and Han Hu韩虎 (Viscount Kang of Han韩康子), Wei Ju defeated Zhi Yao智瑶 (Viscount Xiang of Zhi智襄子) and partitioned his territories. This victory marked a turning point, as the Wei, Zhao, and Han clans grew increasingly powerful, eventually establishing their own states and becoming three of the Seven Warring States.
After Wei Ju's death, his grandson Marquis Wen of Wei (魏文侯) succeeded him, laying the foundation for Wei's rise as a major power during the Warring States Period.
