Gu Hongzhong (simplified Chinese: 顾闳中; traditional Chinese: 顧閎中; pinyin: Gù Hóngzhōng; 937–975) was a Chinese painter during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period of Chinese history.
Gu was active until 960 CE and was most likely a court painter of the Southern Tang dynasty during the reign of Li Yu. His most well-known work is the Night Revels of Han Xizai. Gu's original no longer exists, but the painting survives as a 12th-century remake during the subsequent Song dynasty. The painting is housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing.
