Suimenkul Chokmorov (November 9, 1939 – September 26, 1992) was a Kyrgyz Soviet actor and painter who became one of the most recognizable faces of the Kyrgyz Miracle cinema wave during the 1960s and 1970s. He was named a People's Artist of the USSR in 1981.
Born in the village of Chong-Tash, Chokmorov initially pursued a career in the fine arts, graduating from the Leningrad Academy of Arts in 1964. He shifted to acting in his late twenties, making his film debut in Bolotbek Shamshiyev's A Shooting at the Karash Pass (1968). His screen presence and minimalist acting style quickly made him a frequent collaborator for leading Central Asian directors.
