King Geungusu of Baekje (?-384, reigned 375-384) was the 14th king of the ancient Korean kingdom of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. He was the son of King Geunchogo. He continued his father's policies, and his father's alliance with the Jin clan . His chief minister, Jin Godo , was the father of his queen, Lady Ai .

As crown prince, King Geungusu led the Baekje armies against invading Goguryeo troops in 369, and pushed on to Pyongyang in 371. He continued these hostilities as king, retaking Pyongyang in 377.

King Geungusu maintained friendly relations with Yamato period Japan. He is recorded in the Nihonshoki as having sent the noted Baekje scholar Wangin to Japan with copies of the Analects of Confucius and one copy of the Thousand Character Classic. However, on the basis of Korean accounts some believe that this took place decades later, in the reign of King Asin.
