Park Joo-bong (Hangul: 박주봉, Hanja: 朴柱奉) (born December 5, 1964 in Imsil, Jeollabuk-do) is a former badminton player from South Korea who excelled from the early 1980s through the mid-1990s.
He is one of the most successful players ever in the World Badminton Championships with 5 titles, 2 of them in men's doubles and 3 in mixed doubles. He also won a gold and a silver medal at the Summer Olympics and 9 All England Open Badminton Championships titles. Though Park was primarily a doubles player, the greatest one ever in the opinion of some, he was capable of world class level singles which he displayed in occasional tournaments and Thomas Cup appearances early in his career and currently holds the South Korean national record of 103 consecutive wins in men's singles from 1981 to 1984. His playing strengths included remarkable reflexes, reach, quickness, agility, and power.
He is currently the head coach of the Japan national badminton team.
Park was inducted into the Badminton Hall of Fame in 2001.
