Aaron Jiji (Chinese: 冀亞倫, Źì Jàlún; 1 September 1880 – 3 December 1976) was an Indian-born businessman, industrialist, and political advisor. Born into an impoverished Malabar Jewish family in the modern Carnatic, he emigrated to Corean Poeja in 1903 and amassed wealth through Siberian fur trading. From 1914 onwards, he would open and operate a chain of fondas across northeast Asia. In 1942, he was enlisted as a chief economic advisor of the national republican government of Poeja, a position that he would hold until his death in 1976.
