Khor Kok Soon (许国顺 Xŭ Guóshùn; 23 February 1953 – c. 2006) was a Singaporean gunman who was notorious for his high-profile shoot-out with the police at Shenton Way on 30 July 1984, and was also the prime suspect behind the murder of a 26-year-old lorry driver, whom he held as a hostage to help him drive away from the police before he allegedly killed him. Khor, who was involved in previous armed robbery offences prior to the 1984 shooting incident, fled Singapore after the gunfight and went on the run for the next 19 years, therefore becoming one of Singapore's ten most wanted criminals.

Khor was arrested at Malaysia's Johor Bahru in December 2003, and he was extradited back to Singapore to be charged with murder under the Penal Code, and also faced another three charges of illegally discharging a firearm under the Arms Offences Act. Subsequently, Khor was given a discharge not amounting to an acquittal for the lorry driver's murder, but he was convicted of firing his gun with intent to cause hurt, and sentenced to death on 25 February 2005. After losing his appeal in September 2005, Khor was eventually hanged at Changi Prison in 2006.
