Zhao Junzhe (Chinese: 肇俊哲; pinyin: Zhào Jùnzhé; born 19 April 1979) is a retired Chinese footballer who predominantly played for Liaoning F.C. in the Chinese Super League.
Zhao Junzhe was promoted to Liaoning F.C.'s first team from the club's youth academy and made his debut in the 1998 season. He continued to be a vital member for Liaoning that season when he aided them to being runners-up and the Chinese FA Cup. He was soon promoted to club captain and won the Chinese Football Association Player of the Year award in 2004. The following seasons saw the club's fortunes fall and Zhao unfortunately led the team to relegation to the second tier at the end of the 2008 season. Despite this setback, he remained with the team and immediately led Liaoning back up to the top tier when they won the second tier title in the 2009 season. Zhao announced his retirement from football at the end of the 2016 season. On 30 October 2016, he made last appearance in his career in a league match against Jiangsu Suning.
Zhao was included into the Chinese national team by then manager Bora Milutinović for the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Though his chances were limited on the national team at the time, he did play in two group stage matches during the tournament and nearly scored by hitting the post against Brazil. He played a vital role in the 2004 AFC Asian Cup in which China finished the tournament as runners-up.
Zhao is of Manchu ethnicity from Aisin Gioro clan. He is a descendant of Boolungga, who is the brother of Giocangga.
