Guo Si ( Chinese  郭汜 , Pinyin Guō Sì ; * 146 ; † 197 ) was a general under Niu Fu and later under Dong Zhuo at the time of the Three Kingdoms in ancient China.

After the death of his master Dong Zhuo, on the advice of Jia Xu , he occupied the capital Chang'an with the former Dong Zhuo generals Fan Chou and Li Jue . The three generals defeated the mighty Lü Bu and divided the city among themselves. Guo Si and Li Jue wanted to kill the young Emperor Han Xiandi , but Fan Chou and Zhang Ji stopped them. So the four generals controlled the emperor as Dong Zhuo had previously. But their alliance broke, and Li Jue executed Fan Chou, who had let his childhood friend Han Sui escape.

Later, Yang Biao , a Han court official , planned to break up Guo Si and Li Jue. He made Guo Si's wife Qiong believe that her husband was having an affair with Li Ju's wife. Ms. Qiong secretly poisoned a meal for Guo Si and then fed it in front of his eyes to a dog, who became sick and soon died. Guo Si believed that Li Jue was trying to poison him. He went into battle against him, which ended with Li Jue kidnapping the emperor and Guo Si taking control of the court.

After Guo Si and Li Jue made peace, Yang Feng freed the emperor and defeated the two armies with Generals Dong Cheng and Xu Huang . The decisive victory, however, brought Cao Cao , who destroyed the troops of Guo Si and Li Jue and took control of the emperor himself. Guo Si and Li Jue fled to the mountains and became bandits.

Guo Si was slain in 197 by his officer Wei Xu .
