Cho Sung-min (also Jo Seong-min, Template:Lang-ko; born January 29, 1987 in Seoul) is a South Korean sailor, who specialized in two-person dinghy (470) and open match racing classes.[1][2] He claimed a bronze medal, as a member of the South Korean sailing team, in match racing at the 2010 Asian Games, and later represented South Korea at the 2012 Summer Olympics. As of September 2013, Cho is ranked no. 134 in the world for two-person dinghy class by the International Sailing Federation.

Cho made his official debut at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, where he captured a bronze medal for the South Korean team in a match duel against the host nation China with a scintillating record of 3–1.[3]

At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Cho competed as a boat crew member in the men's 470 class after receiving a berth from the World Championships in Barcelona, Spain.[4] Teaming with his partner and skipper Park Gun-woo in the opening series, Cho pulled off a twenty-second-place finish in a fleet of twenty-seven boats with an accumulated net score of 169 points.[5]
