Jeong Inji (1396-1478) was a Korean neo-Confucian scholar and government minister. During the reign of Sejong the Great, he was vice-minister of education.
He is perhaps best-known for having written the postscript of the Hunmin Jeongeum Haerye, the commentary on and explanation of the Korean alphabet invented by Sejong in 1443. He also contributed to the Goryusa, the official history of Korea, and the Yongbi ǒchǒn-ga.
