Min Won-sik (Korean: 민원식; Hanja: 閔元植, July 12, 1886 – February 17, 1921) was a politician and journalist during the late Joseon dynasty and the Japanese colonial era. He was an advocate for Korean political rights and autonomy. Also a noted writer and poet, he used the art names of Chungam (정암; 正菴), Nankok (난곡; 蘭谷), Handong (한동; 韓東), and Yangha (양하; 養何).
Min believed in the Japanese support of Korean interests. Until his assassination, he supported a system of Korean autonomy within the Japanese imperial system.
