Chŏnsa is the first level military rank of North Korea. It is a combined title held by soldiers, airman, and seaman equivalent to an E-1 on most western military rank scales.

The insignia for chŏnsa consists of a bare shoulder strap or collar tab. The rank is typically held by conscripts and new recruits with six months to a year required in grade before promotion.
