Fu Yue ("Mentor Yue"), also known as Hou Que (侯雀; Hóu Què, "Lord Sparrow"), was an official who served as minister from Fuyan (present-day Pinglu County, Shanxi) under the king Wu Ding 武丁 of the Shang 商 dynasty, who reigned around c. 1250–c. 1200 BCE. He has also been defined anachronistically a "premier."
