Prince (later Fire Lord and Lord) Zuko (Chinese: 祖寇; pinyin: Zǔ Kòu), also known as the Blue Spirit, is a fictional anti-hero character in Nickelodeon's animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Created by Eric Coleman and designed by series creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the character is voiced by Dante Basco in Avatar: The Last Airbender and Bruce Davison in The Legend of Korra, and portrayed by Dev Patel in M. Night Shyamalan's 2010 film The Last Airbender.

Zuko is the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation and a skilled firebender, meaning he has the ability to create and control fire. He is the eldest child of Fire Lord Ozai and the older brother of Princess Azula. Before the events of the series, Zuko is banished from the Fire Nation by his father and told he must capture the Avatar, a unique spiritually powerful individual who could end the 100 year war - the fire nation's conquest for world domination, in order to restore his honour and right to the throne. Zuko is accompanied and advised in his search by his uncle Iroh.

At the beginning of the series, he is the primary antagonist, opposing Avatar Aang and his allies. Over time, however, Zuko loses faith in the Fire Nation's war, feels guilt for his crimes, and begins to sympathize with those the Fire Nation has oppressed. In the later part of the animated series, Zuko joins Aang, teaching him firebending, and fights to overthrow his father and restore peace. Zuko also comes to realize that Iroh has been more of a father to him than Ozai.

In "The Tales of Ba Sing Se", his name was written as "蘇科" (sū kè) on his segment's title card.
