Yuat Kuol Alok (born 1 January 1997) is a South Sudanese-New Zealand professional basketball player for Club Central Jounieh of the Lebanese Basketball League.

Alok was born in Kakuma, Kenya. His mother, Aluel Deng, fled South Sudan during the Second Sudanese Civil War. She arrived at a refugee camp in Kakuma in 1996, where Alok was born a few months later. The family later moved into a house built of mud in a small village in Southern Kenya near the Maasai tribe with his grandmother. There he played soccer with friends and was homeschooled by his mother. She taught him Swahili, Arabic, Dinka and Turkana. Violence and conflicts forced them back into refugee camps across the country, and at one point a refugee camp in Ethiopia.

In 2005, Alok and his family moved to New Zealand. They initially lived in a resettlement camp in Auckland.
