Xiong Qu (Chinese: 熊渠) was a viscount of the Chu state.
Xiong Qu succeeded his father, Xiong Yang, to the Chu throne.[1] He was in turn succeeded by his son Xiong Kang. While the Records of the Grand Historian states that Xiong Kang died early and Xiong Qu was succeeded by Xiong Zhi,[1] this contradicts with the record of the unearthed Tsinghua Bamboo Slips, which states that Xiong Qu was succeeded by Xiong Kang.[2]
