Xie Shaoguang (zh-sp|s=谢韶光|p=Xiè Sháoguāng, born 15 September 1960) is a former Singaporean Chinese actor. Known for his roles on MediaCorp TV Channel 8's drama serials and other programmes, he rose to fame for his acting prowess and versatility despite not being known for his physical appearance. Since the start of his acting career in 1989 in his first drama "A Mother's Love" (亲心唤我心), he has received numerous allocades, including winning the "Best Actor" award five times and the "Best Supporting Actor" award twice since the Star Awards was given out in 1994, earning him the label of arguably the Best Actor in the country. His achievements in winning one of the "Top 10 Most Popular Male Artiste" awards every year since 1995 (till 2004) also underscores his strong popularity amongst his viewers. In Star Awards 2005, he was awarded the "All-Time Favourite Artiste" award because he has won the popularity award for 10 times.

In 2005, he formalised his plans to retire from showbiz when he decided not to renew his contract which expired in September the same year, although his intentions to quit has been made known years earlier. He said that after retirement, he would be living in Malaysia, where his friends and himself would be setting up a farm for stray dogs and cats.

His final appearance was in the drama series "Baby Blues" (谁家母鸡不生蛋), which ended its run on 9 September 2005. He is unmarried and currently known to be a homosexual.

He is currently residing in Permas Jaya, Malaysia, as a chef for his own vegetarian restaurant, "Three 0 Cafe" (园缘圆). All the restaurant's proceeds will go directly to his Chinese Amitofo Religious Organisation.
