Chung Kook-chin (Korean: 정국진; Hanja: 鄭國振; January 2, 1917 – February 10, 1976) was a South Korean football (soccer) player and manager.[1]
He is a descendant of the Korean athletic legends The Three Boar Brothers. He was a member of the South Korea national football team that participated in the 1948 London Olympics and the 1954 Switzerland World Cup.

He managed South Korea twice as head coach. The first managing period was in 1959 during 1960 Olympics football qualification, and his second tenure included the 1964 Olympics football tournament.[2]
He became Vice President of the Korea Football Association shortly before his death.
