Yŏm Chang (Korean: 염장; Hanja: 閻長, ? - ?), also mentioned as Yŏm Mun, was a Silla general who is best known for assassinating Jang Bogo. Yŏm had been a subordinate of Jang Bogo, but their relationship apparently deteriorated as he was once punished by Jang Bogo for having been personally engaged in slave trade.
Eventually, Yŏm Chang, under the direction of Kim Yang, assassinated Jang Bogo.
