Pujun (, 5 January 1886–1942) was a Qing dynasty imperial prince of the Aisin-Gioro. He was the second son of Zaiyi, Prince Duan.
Zaiyi sided with Empress Dowager Cixi and opposed the Hundred Days' Reform movement initiated by the Guangxu Emperor and his allies. On 22 September 1898 Cixi launched a ''coup d'état and put Guangxu under house arrest in the Summer Palace. Shortly after the coup d'état'' Guangxu's health began to decline, prompting Cixi to name an heir presumptive. Three princes were considered as potential candidates: Pujun, the second son of Prince Duan; Zaizhen, the eldest son of Prince Qing; Puwei, the eldest son of Prince Gong. Finally, Cixi chose Pujun as the heir presumptive.
