Gooi Hsiao-Leung (simplified Chinese: 魏晓隆; traditional Chinese: 魏曉隆; pinyin: Wèi Xiǎo Lóng; born 28 December 1972) is a Malaysian politician and the Member of the Parliament of Malaysia for the Alor Setar constituency in the state of Kedah, Malaysia. He is a member of the People's Justice Party (PKR) in the opposition Pakatan Harapan coalition.
A lawyer by profession, Gooi contested the Alor Setar parliamentary seat at the 2008 election, but lost to the seat's long-serving incumbent, Chor Chee Heung of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA), by 184 votes. He recontested the seat in 2013. Amid a nationwide swing away from Barisan Nasional coalition parties, such as the MCA, in urban areas, Gooi unseated Chor by 1,873 votes.
