Guan Suo is a fictional person of the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. He was said to be the third son of Guan Yu, and served as a military general in the state of Shu Han. In some stories, he had a wife called Bao Sanniang or even Hua Man.
Little is known about Guan Suo, as many tales about him were passed down in the form of folk culture instead of textual works. In Luo Guanzhong's historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan was described as a capable warrior, and was involved in Zhuge Liang's Southern Campaign against the Nanman.

Guan Suo is featured as a playable character in the seventh installment of Koei's Dynasty Warriors video game series.
Yang Xiong, a fictional character in the classical novel Water Margin, was nicknamed "Sick Guan Suo" because he resembles Guan in appearance, but has a lighter skin tone.
