Gim Chang-han (Japanese name Kanayama Shoichi) was an official of the Korean Empire and the Japanese colonial period. Under the Korean Empire he served as a clerk in the Foreign Affairs Ministry, a secretary at Incheon port, and postmaster of Incheon, later rising to secretary of the Hanseong prefectural government, chief of the Interior Ministry's police bureau, a councilor of the Privy Council, and governor of Dongnae.
After Korea's annexation he served as a councilor of Hwanghae Province and a member of its land survey committee (1914-1918), and as magistrate of Jeongeup and Okgu counties and councilor of Gangwon Province (1923-1926), before serving as a councilor of the Government-General's Central Council (Jungchuwon) from 1926 to 1932. From 1928 he also led pro-Japanese Confucian organizations such as the Yudo Jinheunghoe. For these activities he is listed as a collaborator in the government's findings on pro-Japanese collaborators and in the Dictionary of Pro-Japanese Collaborators.
