Mun Chang-beom (文昌範, 1870-1938) was an independence activist from Gyeongwon, North Hamgyeong. In the Russian Far East he organized the All-Russia Korean Association central council in 1918 and served as its president, and is counted among the 39 signers of the Muo Declaration of Independence issued in Jilin, Manchuria in February 1919.
In March 1919 he helped form the Korean National Assembly in Vladivostok, encouraging distribution of the declaration and the independence demonstrations, and was named minister of communications of the Provisional Government that year. He also took part in the 1923 National Representative Conference. The government posthumously awarded him the Order of Merit for National Foundation, Presidential Citation, in 1990. The time and cause of his death, including a poisoning account in 1938, differ by source and are uncertain.
