Xiong Qu (Chinese: 熊渠) was a viscount of the Chu state.

Xiong Qu succeeded his father, Xiong Yang, to the Chu throne. He was in turn succeeded by his son Xiong Kang. While the Records of the Grand Historian states that Xiong Kang died early and Xiong Qu was succeeded by Xiong Zhi, this contradicts with the record of the unearthed Tsinghua Bamboo Slips, which states that Xiong Qu was succeeded by Xiong Kang.
