Kuo Jung-cheng (Chinese: 郭榮振; 7 June 1950 – 7 July 2021) was a Taiwanese politician.

Kuo was born in Daan District, Taichung, and attended Chih-Yung Senior High School (of Commerce) in Dajia District.[1] After completing upper-level examinations in taxation and finance, he underwent military training at Naval Base San Diego and attended the University of Southern California.[1][2][3]

After his return to Taiwan, Kuo worked for a pharmaceutical company,[1] then began his career in politics affiliated with the Kuomintang's Taichung-based blue faction.[2] He served two terms on the Taichung County Council from 1989 to 1998. During the 1997 Taiwanese local elections, Kuo contested the Taichung County magistracy, splitting the pan-blue vote with fellow Kuomintang member Shyu Jong-shyong, allowing Liao Yung-lai to win the office.[1][2] Kuo won a seat in the Legislative Yuan in 1998,[1][3] representing Taichung County, a district later held by his close friend Yen Ching-piao.[2][4] Kuo stepped down from the Legislative Yuan after the end of his term in 2002, and died on 7 July 2021 of liver cancer.[1][2]
