Prince Chun of the First Rank, or simply Prince Chun, was the title of a princely peerage used in China during the Manchu-led Qing dynasty (1644–1912). As the Prince Chun peerage was not awarded "iron-cap" status, this meant that each successive bearer of the title would normally start off with a title downgraded by one rank vis-à-vis that held by his predecessor. However, the title would generally not be downgraded to any lower than a feng'en fuguo gong except under special circumstances.

The first bearer of the title was Lunghi (1660–1679), the Shunzhi Emperor's seventh son. In 1674, Lunghi was granted the title "Prince Chun of the First Rank" by his third brother, the Kangxi Emperor. After Lunghi's death, the title was passed on to his infant son, Fu'erhulun (1679–1681), who died prematurely. The peerage thus ended with Fu'erhulun's death.
