Marquis Zhao of Jin (Chinese: 晉昭侯; pinyin: Jìn Zhāo Hóu), personal name Ji Bo, was a ruler of the Jin state. He was the son of Marquis Wen of Jin.[1]

In 745 BC, he granted Quwo (modern-day Quwo County, Shanxi) to his uncle, Huan Shu of Quwo.[1]

In 739 BC, Jin official Panfu (潘父) murdered Marquis Zhao and attempted to place Huan Shu of Quwo on the throne of Jin. When Huan Shu of Quwo arrived in Jin, he was met with resistance from the common people; Huan Shu of Quwo then retreated back to Quwo.[1] The Jin people enthroned Marquis Zhao's son, Marquis Xiao, as the next Jin monarch.
