Cheniu (; Eastern Han Chinese: *tśʰa-ṇuB ) was chieftain of the Goulong clan and chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu from 142 to 143 AD.
In 140 AD, Xiongnu chiefs, Cheniu, Wusi, and Yiti rebelled. They led 8,000 men in raids across the northern Ordos region and attacked the Southern Xiongnu capital of Meiji. Han General Ma Xu repelled them with 20,000 men.
