Ziban (; ; died 6 October 662 BC), personal name Ji Ban (姬般), was a ruler of the Lu state. He is generally known in historiography as Ziban due to his reign being less than a year long, as Ziban died in the same year as his father, Duke Zhuang.
Ziban's mother was Meng Ren (孟任), a woman from the Dang (黨) family who Duke Zhuang saw from a tower he built, which overlooked the Dang residence. Duke Zhuang followed her and promised to make her his concubine. Meng Ren agreed and made a covenant with him by cutting her arm. Later, Ziban was born.
