周用，吴江人。
明史卷二百二 列传第九十：
周用，字行之，吴江人。弘治十五年进士。授行人。正德初，擢南京兵科给事中。父忧服阕，留补礼科。已，乞南。改南京兵科。谏迎佛乌斯藏及以中旨迁黜尚书、都给事中等官，且请治镇守江西中官黎安罪。出为广东参议，预平番禺盗，有功。历浙江、山东副使。擢福建按察使，改河南右布政使。代监司鞫南阳滞狱，狱为之空。嘉靖八年擢右副都御史，巡抚南、赣。召协理院事。历吏部左、右侍郎。以起废不当，尚书汪鋐委罪僚属，乃调用南京刑部。就迁右都御史，工、刑二部尚书。九庙灾，自陈致仕。用端亮有节概。既罢，中外皆惜之，频有推荐。久之，以工部尚书起督河道，数月，改漕运。未上，召拜左都御史。二品九年满，加太子少保。二十五年代唐龙为吏部尚书。明年卒官。赠太子太保，谥恭肃。曾孙宗建，自有传。
用掌宪时，慎自持而已，无所献替。其后宋景、屠侨继之，大略皆廉洁，与用相似。景未久卒，而侨居职八年。属严嵩柄政，风纪不振。议丁汝夔狱，受杖不能去。
