Su Rong (Chinese: 苏荣; pinyin: Sū Róng; born October 1948) is a former senior regional official and politician in China.
He began his career in his native Jilin, and successively served as Chinese Communist Party Committee Secretary of Qinghai, Gansu, and Jiangxi provinces.
In 2014, Su was subject to a probe by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for "disciplinary violations", which led to criminal charges.
Su Rong was born 1948 in Taonan (formerly Tao'an County), Baicheng prefecture, in Northeast China's Jilin province.
At the time of the announcement, he was the highest-ranking official, and the only "national leader"-class figure, to come under investigation for graft since Xi Jinping became General Secretary of the CCP in 2012.

It concluded that Su Rong "violated organizational discipline, unilaterally upstaged decisions made by consensus [...] used his position of power to seek gain for others during the promotion process of officials and the operations of businesses, took a massive amount of bribes."
Su was expelled from the CCP, and indicted on charges of bribery and abuse of power, and his case moved to judicial authorities for prosecution.
