In Jin Chi (지인진 born July 18, 1973 in Seoul, Korea) is a boxer in the Featherweight division. He is a currently World Boxing Council (WBC) featherweight world champion.

Chi made his debut as a professional boxer on November 20, 1991. He challenged WBC Featherweight Title holder Erik Morales on July 28, 2001 but lost a unanimous decision. On October 18, 2003 the brawling Chi got another shot at the Vacant WBC Featherweight Title against Michael Brodie, but came up short of the title with a draw. In the rematch the following year, he knocked out Brodie in the 7th round. After defending the title twice, he lost the belt to Takashi Koshimoto in 2006 via split decision [1].

Chi recaptured the WBC featherweight title with a unanimous decision over defending titlist Rudy Lopez at the Chungmu Art Hall in Seoul, Korea in December of 2006. Scores were 117-111, 116-112 and 116-113. Koshimoto had been defeated by Lopez in his first defense, yielding the belt to Lopez before it was regained by Chi.

Chi nearly had the chance to challenge Manny Pacquiao but the fight was cancelled due to venue and financial reasons.
