Guo Xiu (, 28 July 1638 – 10 April 1715) was a Han Chinese official who famously served as a censor during the Qing dynasty.

Biography
Originally from Jimo, Shandong, Guo took the imperial examination, becoming a jinshi in 1670. In 1679, he was appointed magistrate of Wujiang, Jiangsu. His interest in public works and efficient administration made him a popular magistrate. He caught the attention of the governor of Jiangsu, Tang Bin, who recommended that he become a censor. He was appointed to be a censor in 1686. According to Fang Chao-ying, it was in this role that Guo 'became one of the most famous officials of the Kangxi period.' He criticised Jin Fu's efforts to control the Yellow River and also accused Grand Secretaries Mingju and Yu Guozhu of corruption, leading to their dismissals.
