Gu Xiaogang (Chinese: 顾晓刚; pinyin: Gù Xiǎogāng; born August 11, 1988, in Fuyang) is a Chinese film director.

Gu's first feature film, Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains, closed the 58th edition of the Critics' Week at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. During the filming, he discovered that a family member had fallen victim to a fraudulent pyramid scheme, which became the catalyst for his second film, Dwelling by the West Lake. In 2023, Dwelling by the West Lake was shortlisted for the Akira Kurosawa Award at the 36th Tokyo International Film Festival. In 2024, his feature Spring Comes Along was the main promotional film at the 14th Beijing International Film Festival.
