Zhao Cui (Chinese: 趙衰), also known by his posthumous name as the Viscount Cheng of Zhao (Chinese: 趙成子), also known as Chengji (成季), was leader of the Zhao clan in the Jin state from 636 BC to 622 BC. He served as dafu (大夫) during the reign of Duke Wen of Jin.

Duke Wen of Jin was exiled due to the Li Ji Unrest prior to taking the Jin throne. Zhao Cui had always accompanied Duke Wen of Jin during this period. In the Qin state, they received the assistance of Duke Mu of Qin.[1]

After Duke Wen of Jin's death, he served Duke Xiang of Jin and participated in the Battle of Pengya. The Jin army defeated the Qin army in this battle.[2]
