Leo Ku Kui-Kei (Chinese language|Chinese: ?????????; pinyin: G?? J??j??; born 18 August 1972) is a Hong Kong Cantopop singer and actor. He was an entertainment news programme (娛樂新聞眼) presenter at TVB as well as host of the music show Jade Solid Gold in 1992 before releasing his first album (愛的解釋) in 1994 to become a Cantopop singer. He is one of the few Cantopop artists who employ the use of falsetto (假音). Because of this, many people including David Tao have praised this unique talent.

One of his songs "Enjoy Yourself Tonight" (歡樂今宵) released on 1997 earned him various musical awards most notably the Silver Male pop singer by Commercial Radio. However, his singing career was stalled in the next few years but he regained popularity in 2003, because of efforts of his current manager Paco Wong, with the release of new albums "Games" (遊戲 - 基) and "Nobita" (大雄). He has been referred to as one of the 'New Four Big Heavenly Kings' by veteran singer Alan Tam along with Hacken Lee, Andy Hui and Edmond Leung.

Leo Ku's recent albums have revolved around a specific theme. The album "Games" was based on video games, "Nobita" was based on the comic books, while "Jade Solid Gold" is named after a popular music show of the same name. "Nobita" is one of Leo Ku's most successful albums ever, with 64,152 copies sold in 2004. It was the eighth best selling Cantopop album of 2004 in Hong Kong.

On April 9, 2005, a party was held for Leo Ku to celebrate the completion of Part 2 of his concert (勁歌金曲演唱會) and also to celebrate his "Jade Solid Gold" album reaching double Platinum (100,000 copies).
