Kerubino Kuanyin Bol (1948 – 9 September 1999) was a Sudanese rebel leader who was one of the founders of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) and one of the leaders of the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) during the Second Sudanese Civil War and was said to have fired the first shot in the conflict.

Bol was arrested by his former SPLA allies in 1987 after being accused of trying to overthow John Garang.[1] In 1993, after being released, Bol's forces joined the SPLA-Nasir. He was shot and killed in 1999 under unclear circumstances.[2]
