Chiu Kwok-chun (1884 – 17 April 1957) was a New Zealand journalist, political reformer, newspaper editor, Baptist missioner and community leader.

[3] Chiu had converted to Christianity before he became a teacher at the Piu Ching Baptist middle school in Guangzhou.

During this time, the Qing dynasty's control over China weakened and Chiu joined the Tongmenghui.

Due to his skill in writing and his devotion to republicanism, he was recruited by the Kuomintang to edit its newspaper, Chinese Republic News, in Sydney, Australia.

However, his writings angered pro-Yuan supporters in the Chinese community of Sydney, which led to Chiu being deported by Australian immigration authorities.

[3] From Sydney, Chiu was supported by the Kuomintang to travel to Wellington, New Zealand, in August 1915 on board the Ulimaroa.

He also wrote, edited and helped publish issues of the New Zealand Chinese Weekly News, which continued publication throughout the rest of World War II.
