Di Yi (Chinese: 帝乙) was a king of the Shang dynasty of China from 1101 to 1076 BC. His capital was at Yin.
According to the Bamboo Annals, on the third year of his regime, he ordered Nanzhong to fight Kun Barbarians and built Shuofang (朔方, roughly modern Ordos in Inner Mongolia) in the middle of Kun territory after winning a battle. He also fought the Renfang (see the Dongyi), eventually capturing and sacrificing their chief.
