Geng Jingzhong (耿精忠 Gěng Jīngzhōng|w=Keng Ching-chung; died 1682) was a powerful military commander of the early
Qing dynasty. He inherited the title of "King/Prince of Jingnan" (靖南王) from his father
Geng Jimao, who had inherited it from Jingzhong's grandfather
Geng Zhongming.
The "Dolo efu" 和硕额驸 rank was given to husbands of Qing princesses. Geng Jingmao managed to have both his sons Geng Jingzhong and Geng Zhaozhong 耿昭忠 become court attendants under the Shunzhi Emperor and marry Aisin Gioro women, with Prince Abatai's granddaughter marrying Geng Zhaozhong 耿昭忠 and Hooge's (a son of Hong Taiji) daughter marrying Geng Jingzhong. A daughter 和硕柔嘉公主 of the Manchu Aisin Gioro Prince Yolo 岳乐 (Prince An) was wedded to Geng Juzhong.
Firmly entrenched as a quasi independent ruler in Fujian, in 1674 Geng Jingzhong rebelled against Qing rule along with the other two of the Three Feudatories Wu Sangui and Shang Zhixin, who were also governing enormous principalities in south China. On November 6, Yanping fell to armies commanded by Jieshu, Qing armies eventually defeated Geng, who surrendered in 1676 and pledged his support to putting down the other revolting feudatories. The Qing then used Geng's troops to fight the other feudatories until the civil war ended. Soon after the Qing final victory in 1681, the Kangxi Emperor had Geng executed by slow slicing for treason.
Geng Jingzhong's brother Geng Juzhong was in Beijing with the Qing court with the Kangxi Emperor during the rebellion and was not punished by the Kangxi Emperor for his brother's revolt. Geng Juzhong died of natural causes in 1687. Geng Juzhong was a Third Class Viscount 三等子.

耿精忠为耿仲明之孙、耿继茂的长子。耿家先世为山东人,被迁至辽东盖州卫。耿仲明先为毛文龙辖下参将,毛文龙为袁崇焕所杀后转投孙元化,孙元化为明廷所杀后,转降努尔哈赤,顺治初从多尔衮入关,1649年封靖南王。耿仲明死后,子耿继茂袭爵。1671年耿继茂卒,耿精忠袭靖南王爵。
耿精忠与肃亲王豪格女成婚,封和硕额驸。继位后,左右由于谶纬有「天子分身火耳」之谣,耿精忠便劝令部署将士以待变。1673年闻尚可喜将撤藩归辽东,耿精忠与吴三桂为试探朝廷态度亦具疏请撤,康熙帝允许。吴三桂起兵时,招耿精忠共同起事,于是耿精忠在1674年自称总统兵马大将军,蓄发易冠服,于福州虏杀福建总督范承谟(范文程之子)及幕僚50馀人,与吴三桂合兵入江西,并且邀台湾郑经由海道取沿海郡县为声援,一时兵势甚盛。
耿精忠叛乱时,康熙命康亲王杰书、将军赖塔分由浙江、衢州讨之。郑经以耿精忠未遵守约定,迳取漳州、泉州二州,纳其降将。耿精忠见大势已去,于1676年降清。1680年郑经败回台湾,耿精忠请入觐,康熙令三法司按治囚禁。1681年云南平定后,次年耿精忠被磔于市,范承谟子范时崇分割其肉祭墓。这也应验了「天子分身火耳」之谣:清皇帝磔杀(以刀分肉之刑)耿精忠。
