Bichunmoo (hanja 飛天舞; hangul 비천무; Revised Romanization Bicheonmu) is a South Korean martial arts film written and directed by Young-jun Kim featuring Kim Hee-sun and Shin Hyun-june. Originally released in 2000, it was at the time the most expensive film in Korean history (an honour it soon lost to Musa).

In spite of its financial success, the film was heavily criticised on its initial release in Korea, primarily due to its alleged disloyalty to the comic book on which it was based. Another argument given against the film was the casting choice of Kim Hee-sun, who was perceived as being too modern for a period swordplay film.
