Park Kyung-won (Korean: 박경원; 24 June 1901 – 7 August 1933) was the first female Korean civilian aviator.
Park is not the first female Korean pilot, however. That title is generally given to Kwon Ki-ok, who was trained by the Republic of China Air Force.
Park is the subject of the controversial 2005 South Korean film Blue Swallow, in which she was portrayed by actress Jang Jin-young.
