Sjungnu (), naziv je za konfederaciju nomadskih plemena središnje Azije,[1] na čijem je čelu bila vladajuća klasa nepoznatog porekla. Većina informacija o Sjungnima dolazi iz kineskih izvora, pa su imena i titule poznata isključivo po kineskim transliteracijama.
Identitet i podreklo vladajuće klase Sjungnua je zbog malog broja sačuvanih imena, titula i reči, predmet brojnih i različitih hipoteza među istoričarima. Kao mogući preci, odnosno srodnici Sjungnua se spominju razni iranski, mongolski, turkijski i jenisejski narodi[2][3] Prilično je popularna hipoteza kojoj su Sjungnu zapravo Huni, iako za to nema čvrstih dokaza.[3][4]
Kineski izvori iz 3. veka p. n. e. navode kako su Sjungnu stvorili carstvo pod Modu Čanjuom (koji je postao njihov vrhovni vođa 209. p. n. e.)[5] a koje se prostiralo preko granica današnje Mongolije. U drugom veku pne porazili su i u progonstvo najerali dotada dominantni narod Juedži, te postali gospodarima stepa na severu današnje Kine. Takođe su bili aktivni u južnom Sibiru, zapadnoj Mandžuriji i savremenim kineskimpokrajinamaUnutrašnja Mongolija, Gansu i Sinkjang. Ta nomadska plemena su se smatrala toliko moćnim da je dinastija Ćin otpočela izgradnju Velikog zida kako bi zaštitila Kinu od njihovih napadaja. Odnosi Sjungnua i ranih kineskih dinastija su bili složeni, od čestih vojnih sukoba i intriga, preko složenih sistema plaćanja danka, trgovine i bračnih saveza.
