Yŏm Chang (Korean: 염장; Hanja: 閻長, ? – ?), also mentioned as Yŏm Mun, was a Silla general who is best known for assassinating Chang Pogo. Yŏm had been a subordinate of Chang Pogo, but their relationship apparently deteriorated as he was once punished by Chang Pogo for having been personally engaged in slave trade.[citation needed]

Eventually, Yŏm Chang, under the direction of Kim Yang[citation needed], assassinated Chang Pogo.
