Chang-Wha Chung ({{Korean|hangul=정창화}}; born 1 November 1928) is a South Korean film director, producer and screenwriter. Chung made his directorial debut with The Final Temptation (1953) and gained attention only when he released A Sunny Field in 1960. During the 1960s he started collaborating with the Hong Kong film industry. In 1968, he joined Shaw Brothers and directed martial arts classics such as King Boxer (1972) (the first Hong Kong movie to reach No. 1 on the U.S. box office in 1973, also known as Five Fingers of Death). He moved to Golden Harvest in 1973, where he directed numerous productions until he returned to South Korea in 1977 to continue his career.{{cite web|title=CHUNG Chang Hwa 정창화|url=http://www.cinemasie.com/en/fiche/personne/chungchangwha/portrait.html|website=www.cinemasie.com|accessdate=2016-08-20|date=27 Jan 2006}}{{cite web|title=Le Grand Chef 2 to open Korean film fest in LA|url=http://www.hancinema.net/le-grand-chef-2-to-open-korean-film-fest-in-la-22087.html|website=Hancinema|accessdate=2016-08-21|date=28 January 2010}}{{cite web|title=Interview With King Boxer Director Chang Hwa Jeong|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzSB4sJpRtM|website=YouTube|accessdate=2016-08-20|date=19 May 2010}}
