Hong Ta-gu (Korean: 홍다구; Hanja: 洪茶丘; 1244–1291) was a Goryeo commander of the Yuan dynasty.^[1] His given name was Chun-gi (俊奇; 준기, Jùnqí), but he was more well known by his courtesy name Ta-gu. Born to a northwestern warlord family that defected to the Mongol Empire, Hong Ta-gu led Goryeo forces who had defected in campaigns against Goryeo and Japan. The Hong family dominated the Goryeo defector families in Liaoyang and Shenyang during the latter half of the 13th century.
