Kil Chae ({{Korean|hangul=길재|hanja=吉再}}; 1353–1419) was a Korean scholar-official who served near the end of Goryeo dynasty. A Goryeo loyalist, he refused to serve the new Joseon dynasty that overthrew Goryeo. The followers of Kil's teachings would coalesce as the Sarim faction.{{cite book |last1=Lee |first1=Ki-baek |translator-last1=Schultz|translator-first1=Edward J.|translator-last2=Wagner|translator-first2=Edward W.|title=A New History of Korea |date=1984 |publisher=Harvard University Press, for the Harvard-Yenching institute |location=Cambridge, Mass. ; London |isbn=0-674-61575-1 |page=204}}
