King Sosurim of Goguryeo (?-384, r. 371-384) was the 17th ruler of Goguryeo, the northernmost of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. He was the son of King Gogugwon.

He was made crown prince in 355. He became king when his father King Gogugwon was killed by the Baekje King Geunchogo's assault on Pyongyang Castle.

He is considered to have strengthened the centralization of authority in Goguryeo, by establishing state religious institutions to transcend tribal factionalism. In 372, he received Buddhism through travelling monks of Former Qin and built temples to house them.

Also in 372, he also established the Confucian institutions of Taehak (태학, 太學) to educate the children of the nobility. In 373, he promulgated a code of laws called (율령, 律令), centrally codifying regional customs and acting as the national constitution.

In 374, 375, and 376, he attacked the Korean kingdom of Baekje to the south, and in 378 was attacked by the Khitan from the north.

He was buried in Sosurim.
