The jukjangchang ({{Korean|hangul=죽장창|lit=bamboo long spear}}), is a Korean weapon.

The jukjangchang is first mentioned in the Muyesinbo (1759). The spear was made from bamboo and is about {{convert|4.2|m|abbr=on}} long. The jukjangchang was made either or whole bamboo stalk or pieces of bamboo glued and woven together. The latter type was stronger.Ehwa University Press 2008, Sippalgi: Traditional Korean Martial Arts, Dr. B.K. Cho

The bamboo made the jukjangchang more flexible than the ordinary jangchang. Soldiers could use the jukjangchang to keep the enemy at a distance.
