Han Kuo-yu (born 17 June 1957) is a Taiwanese politician and retired Republic of China Army officer who is the current president of the Legislative Yuan.

Han graduated from the Republic of China Military Academy, Soochow University, and National Chengchi University. He was a member of the Legislative Yuan from 1993 to 2002, representing a portion of Taipei County for three terms. He later became general manager of Taipei Agricultural Products Marketing Corporation. In 2017, Han contested the Kuomintang chairmanship, losing to Wu Den-yih.

Han was elected Mayor of Kaohsiung in November 2018, and became the first Kuomintang politician since Wu in 1998 to hold the office. He was the KMT candidate for the 2020 Taiwanese presidential election, but lost to Tsai Ing-wen. On 6 June 2020, Han was recalled from his position as mayor and officially stepped down on 12 June. He returned to the Legislative Yuan after winning a party-list seat in the 2024 legislative election. Han took office as member and was elected the President of the Legislative Yuan on 1 February 2024.
