Gu Junshan (Chinese: 谷俊山; pinyin: Gǔ Jùnshān; born October 1956^{[note 2]}) is a former lieutenant general in the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China who was sentenced to prison for corruption.^[1] He served as the deputy director of the PLA General Logistics Department (GLD) from December 2009 to February 2012.^[2] During his tenure he oversaw the consolidation and sale of military real estate assets. Prior to that, he served as the chief of the barracks and housing division of the GLD, in charge of upgrades to the facilities and residences of army personnel.

Born into a family of farmers, Gu joined the military when he was 17 years old. He worked in Northeast China, but was transferred back to his home province during the downsizing of the PLA in the 1980s. He then worked in logistics coordination for the Jinan Military Region, and was rapidly promoted thereafter. Gu attained the rank of major general (shao jiang) in July 2003 and lieutenant-general (zhong jiang) in July 2011.^[3] Gu was removed from office in 2012, as the authorities opened a far-reaching corruption investigation which resulted in the seizure of many Gu family assets. In 2015, Gu was tried and convicted on charges of bribery, embezzlement, illegally moving public funds, and abuse of power by a military court, and sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve.
