Park Sun (朴純, d. 1402) was a late-Goryeo to early-Joseon figure remembered as a central ancestor of the Chungmin-gong branch of the Eumseong Park. He is said to have taken part in the period of the Liaodong campaign and the Wihwado withdrawal, and in 1402 to have volunteered as an envoy (hamheung chasa) to bring the retired King Taejo back from Hamheung, never returning. King Taejong reportedly had a loyalty gate built in his home district and a chastity gate for his wife, Lady Im of Jangheung, who is said to have taken her own life on hearing of his death.
He is a different person from the Chief State Councillor Park Sun (朴淳, 1523-1589) of the Chungju Park; the names are written with different characters. Accounts of his career vary by source.
