Ju Wenjun (Chinese: 居文君; born 31 January 1991 in Shanghai) is a Chinese chess player, who holds the FIDE title of Grandmaster (GM).
She is currently second-highest rated female player.
In December 2004, Ju Wenjun placed third in the Asian Women's Chess Championship in Beirut. This result qualified her to play in her first Women's World Chess Championship in 2006. She competed in this event also in 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2015.
She won the Women's Chinese Chess Championship in 2010 and 2014.
In July 2011 she won the Hangzhou Women Grandmaster Chess Tournament undefeated with a score of 6.5/9 points, ahead of reigning women's world champion Hou Yifan. In October 2011 she took the second place at the Nalchik stage of the FIDE Women's Grand Prix 2011-2012 with 7/11, ranked only after her compatriot Zhao Xue; her performance was enough to acquire her third and final norm required for the Grandmaster title. However, one of the three norms was missing the signature of the arbiter, disqualifying her for consideration for the title.
