Pujie (Manchu: ᡦᡠ ᡤᡳᠶᡝ; Pu-giye; 16 April 1907 – 28 February 1994), courtesy name Junzhi, art name Bingfan, was a Chinese nobleman of Manchu descent. Born in the Aisin Gioro clan, the imperial clan of the Qing dynasty, Pujie was the younger brother of Puyi, the Last Emperor. After the fall of the Qing dynasty, Pujie went to Japan, where he was educated and married to Saga Hiro, a Japanese noblewoman. In 1937, he moved to Manchukuo, where his brother ruled as a puppet emperor under Japanese control during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945). After the war ended, Pujie was captured by Soviet forces, held in Soviet prison camps for five years, and then extradited back to the People's Republic of China, where he was incarcerated for about 10 years in the Fushun War Criminals Management Centre. He was later pardoned and released from prison by the Chinese government, after which he joined the Communist Party and served in a number of positions in the party until his death in 1994.

Pujie was the second son of Zaifeng (Prince Chun) and his wife Youlan. As a child, he was brought to the Forbidden City in Beijing to be a playmate and classmate to his brother, Puyi. A well-known incident recounted how Puyi threw a tantrum when he saw that the inner lining of one of Pujie's coats was yellow, because yellow was traditionally a colour reserved only for the emperor.
