Ann Kok (zh-sp|s=郭淑贤|p=Guō Shūxián, born 11 Jan 1973) is an actress from Singapore. She started her acting career as a finalist in Star Search 1993 where she won a contract with TCS8, then the Mandarin channel of MediaCorp TV.

Despite a three-year break from local TV while she went to Hong Kong to expand her career, she is still quite popular, though not as popular as she was in the years 1995–99. Formerly regarded as "San-jie" (the third most popular actress in Singapore), she received many lead roles in this period. She went to Hong Kong in 2000 to expand her career, but the move proved unsuccessful. She came back to Singapore's MediaCorp in year 2004, and has been receiving a steady stream of supporting roles.

In the annual Star Awards 2006, Ann was nominated for the Best Actress award for her performance as "Jiang Ruqing" in "Love Concierge". The role was that of an evil and scheming woman who later suffered from depression. It was the first "Best Actress" nomination in her 13 year career, and she was tipped as the favourite to win the award. However, Ivy Lee bagged the award instead.
