Guo Shengtong (Chinese: 郭聖通; c. AD 6 – 22 July 52) was empress consort of China's Eastern Han dynasty. She was the second wife and first empress of Emperor Guangwu, the founder of the Eastern Han. She eventually lost her Emperor Guangwu's favor and was deposed in AD 41 in favor of his first wife, Yin Lihua. However, both she and her family continued to be respected and honored even after she was deposed.
