Kim Mun-geun (Korean김문근; Hanja金汶根; 25 November 1801 – 6 November 1863), posthumously called Duke Chungsung (충숭공, 忠純公), was a Korean nobleman and politician during the late Joseon Period. He served in various high-ranking positions at the court of his son-in-law, King Cheoljong.[1] He was also the father of Queen Cheorin, primary wife of King Cheoljong.

He was one of the famous political figures who came from the Andong Kim clan and was a 7th degree nephew of Kim Jo-sun, Internal Prince Yeongan (김조순 영안부원군); the father of Queen Sunwon. When his daughter was chosen as Queen, he was honoured as Internal Prince Yeongeun (영은부원군, 永恩府院君).[2]
