Cheon Sang-ji, GJM TGDS (17 June 1890 – 12 April 1980) was a Joyonghean general officer that fought in the Third Joyonghean-Quenminese War and the War of Lorican Aggression. He commanded Army Group Anbyeon, a major Joyonghean force that played a crucial role in the conflict. To his men, he is known as the Gentleman Under Fire, given his calmness in intense battles and desperate situations.

His notable achievements in the Third War were the Autumn Offensive and the Huije-Jurchenia Campaign, which drove Imperial forces down south.
