Zhang Shufeng (Chinese: 张树峰; born 24 November 1984) is a Chinese high jumper. His personal best jump is 2.30 m (7 ft 6+1⁄2 in), achieved in August 2006 in Shijiazhuang.[1] He is from Heilongjiang province.[2] He was a two-time winner at the National Games of China and a one-time winner of the Chinese national championships.

He won the bronze medal at the 2005 Asian Championships and the 2005 East Asian Games.[3][4] At the 2007 Summer Universiade and 2010 World Indoor Championships he failed to record a valid jump.[1][5]

He was coached by former Asian Games champion Zhou Zhongge. Zhou developed Zhang from a 2.20 m jumper to a 2.30 m jumper, making him international class. The two focused on improving Zhang's explosive jump capacity and lowering his centre of gravity at take-off.[2]
