Chhu (Brahmi script: Chhu) seems to have been a late Kushan Empire ruler, who ruled from 310 to 325 CE.[2] His coinage is very similar to that of his near-contemporary Vasudeva.[3] His rule corresponds to the last days of the Kushan Empire, before the conquest by Kidara.[4]
The rule of Chhu was probably centered on the Punjab and neighbouring areas.[5]
