Clara Chou (Chinese: 周玉蔻; pinyin: Zhōu Yùkòu; Wade–Giles: Chou Yu-kou; born 9 September 1953) is a Taiwanese journalist, television and radio personality.
Chou attended National Chengchi University, where she earned a degree in journalism. She then entered Harvard University, where she earned a master's degree, followed by an Executive Master of Science in Business Administration degree at Peking University's Guanghua School of Management.
Chou supported the Kuomintang, before the party lost power in the 2000 election. After the loss, she publicly supported the Democratic Progressive Party's policies, and ran as a candidate for the Pan-Green Taiwan Solidarity Union in the 2006 Taipei City municipal election. She was expelled from the TSU during her mayoral campaign for suggesting that President Chen Shui-bian resign in the wake of First Lady Wu Shu-chen's indictment for graft, though her name still appeared on the ballot as the TSU candidate. The expulsion was later reduced to a suspension. By 2008, Chou had rejoined the KMT. After Ma Ying-jeou resigned as KMT chair in December 2014, Chou tried to run for the position, but was rejected.
