Guo Zhongmin (June 24, 1966 – February 23, 2003) was a Chinese mass murderer who killed 13 people in Yangxiaoxiang, Huludao, People's Republic of China, on February 18, 2003, before committing suicide.

Due to a land dispute with three neighbours, he armed himself with a knife and a stick, entered their homes, and stabbed or beat a total of 13 people, all of them fatally, before he fled and hid in the mountains. Faced with a manhunt by more than 1,000 police officers, Guo eventually committed suicide by swallowing pesticide when he was surrounded on February 23 in Yejiajia, Suizhong County.[1][2]
