Zhu Shouju (1892 – 31 December 1966), born Zhu Junbo, also known by his pen name Haishang Shuomengren or "Shanghai Dream Narrator", was a Chinese author and filmmaker based in Shanghai.
He began his career as a writer of serialized novels. In 1924 he became the chief editor of Movie Magazine () and in the same year founded the Lilium Pictures Company (). In 1925, it merged with another film company to become the Great China Lilium Pictures Company (), with Zhu serving as its general manager. Zhu directed at least 15 films in the 1920s, including at least 3 starring Ruan Lingyu, who later became a superstar. The majority of his films have been lost, but his 1925 film The Stormy Night was accidentally re-discovered in Tokyo, Japan in the 21st century.
