Pak Kum-chol (박금철, 1911–May 1967) was a North Korean politician. Having been a guerrilla during the anti-Japanese struggle, he became a high-ranking politician after the liberation of Korea. Pak aligned himself with his former guerrilla brothers in arms from the Kapsan Operation Committee to form a faction within the ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) called the "Kapsan faction". This faction sought to replace Kim Il-sung with Pak. Kim retaliated by purging the faction in 1967 in what is known as the Kapsan Faction Incident. Pak was sent to work at a factory in the countryside and was either executed or committed suicide in May 1967.
