Chong-Pal Park (Hangul: 박종팔, Hanja: 朴鍾八) (born 11 August 1958 in Muan, Jeollanam-do) was a South Korean boxer in the super middleweight division.
He turned professional in 1977 and won the Orient and Pacific Boxing Federation Middleweight title in 1979. His first world title came when he captured the IBF Super Middleweight title in 1984 with a knockout over Murray Sutherland. He defended the title eight times before relinquishing the title in 1987 to fight for the vacant (and newly created) WBA Super Middleweight title with a technical knockout over Jesus Gallardo. He defended the belt once before losing it to Fulgencio Obelmejias in 1988.
