Du Sengming (509–554), courtesy name Hongzhao, was a military general of the Liang dynasty during the Northern and Southern dynasties period. Sengming and Zhou Wenyu rebelled against the Liang dynasty in 543 when their master, Lu Zixiong (盧子雄) was executed, but after he was captured by Chen Baxian, he became one of Chen's generals. He greatly contributed in quelling the Hou Jing Disturbance and briefly fought with Northern Qi in 554 before dying at the young age of 46. He, along with Zhou and Hou Andu, were considered the three key generals of Chen Baxian's rise to power.
