Chunwon
{{Short description|Go competition in Korea}}
The Chunwon (Korean: 천원전, Hanja: 天元戰) was a Go competition in Korea. Begun in 1996, it was held nineteen times and was discontinued after 2015.
The winner of the Chunwon went on to play the winner of the Chinese equivalent (the Tianyuan), in the annual China–Korea Tengen competition.{{cite web|title=China Korea Tengen|url=http://senseis.xmp.net/?ChinaKoreaTengen|publisher=Sensei's Library|accessdate=20 August 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121021113017/http://senseis.xmp.net/?ChinaKoreaTengen|archive-date=21 October 2012|url-status=dead}}
