Gwak Jun (郭䞭, 1551–1597) was a mid-Joseon official. His pen name was Jonjae (存齋) and his posthumous title Chungnyeol (忠烈). The national heritage portal and the Encyclopedia of Daegu History and Culture identify him as a member of the Hyeonpung Gwak clan. Korean Wikipedia writes his name as 郭遵 and gives his birth year as 1550, so the sources differ.
As Magistrate of Aneum, he defended Hwangseoksanseong Fortress. He died there in 1597 together with his sons Gwak I-sang and Gwak I-hu.
He was later enshrined at Yeyeon Seowon and at Hwangamsa in Hamyang. A stele honoring him was erected in 1634 and now stands at 584-6 Gatae-ri, Yuga-eup, Dalseong County.
