商代
(?～
前1110年)
武乙，商朝国王，姓子名瞿。商王康丁之子，康丁死后于前1147年继位，在位35年，卒于公元前1113年，死后由其子太丁（也作文丁）继位。传说被雷击而死于渭水流域，一说死于战事，葬于殷。
武乙在位时，巫教势力极大，经常假借天意钳制商王的行动，
武乙便想方设法打击巫权。有一次，他命工匠雕了一个木偶，状貌威严，冠服齐整，称作天神。他约天神和他赌博，又命令一个臣子代替木偶，作为天神来与他赌博，臣子怕
武乙，步步退让，以大输而告终。
武乙推局指着木偶大笑说：“你既然是天神，怎么会输给我，如此不灵验，不配称天神。”还命令左右痛打木偶。
又有一次，
武乙命人制作了一只皮袋，盛满兽血，挂在树枝上，他亲自挽弓仰射，射破皮袋，兽血喷出，
武乙掷弓大笑说：“今天，天被我射了一个窟窿。”
经过种种斗争，终于使巫权大为降落，王权大为上升。
当时，西方的旨方和羝方联合攻打商朝，
武乙出兵征伐，俘虏了旨方几千人.
后来，
武乙到黄河、渭水之间去游猎，据说被雷击死。一些学者认为，此说很有可能是仇恨
武乙的巫师们编造出来贬低
武乙的。从
武乙晚年经常用兵于渭水流域的史料来分析，他可能死于征伐西方方国部落的战斗中。
