Chu Yo-han (14 October 1900 - 17 November 1979) was a twentieth-century Korean poet. He was born in Pyongyang, under what was then the Joseon Dynasty. He attended elementary school in Pyongyang, and then middle school at the Meiji Academy in Japan. He graduated from Hogang College in Shanghai in 1925.
Chu began publishing his poems in 1919. Around 1920, his poem "Fireworks" appeared, contributing significantly to the development of Korean poetry, what with its use of free verse, borrowed from French poets.
He edited Contemporary Korean Poetry (University of Iowa Press: Ames, 1970), which contains his translated poem " A spring dream passes."
Chu is also remembered for having compiled the complete works of Dosan Ahn Chang-ho, an important figure in the Korean independence movement.
