The Chasunese monarchy encompasses all historical rulers of the Chasunese Empire, its predecessor states and the Kingdom of Chasun from the late 8th century BC under demi-god King Ajehsane Dangguome to 1 August 1920 under Empress Sumyinjeong, when the monarchy was ultimately abolished by the 1920 Summer Coup and subsequent proclamation of the First Republic of Chasun.

The monarchy has gone through multiple eras of dynastical dispute as a hereditary monarchy following agnatic primogeniture, with various dynasties claiming continuity of the Chasunese monarchy and actual sovereignty being dependent on the ruler's ability to consolidate power among the Chasunese nobility (yaseon). The first ruling Byaheo dynasty ruled Chasun from its semi-mythical foundation in 1055 to its collapse to the hands of the Haseong dynasty in 1226 to 1228, before it too was toppled by the invasion of the non-Chasunese Chanon and the establishment of the Charasŏn dynasty in 1383. That particular dynasty continuously ruled Chasun, adopting the title of Hwangje (or Emperor) and considered the Haneul-ui Daeliin ("Delegate of Heaven") under Emperor Wujao the Great, with the aid of its imperial bureaucracy before slowly succumbing to internal political strife, civil unrest and foreign intervention; the monarchy was abolished by the Republic of Chasun and Jeon Sang-choon the abdication decree of then-Queen Sumyinjeong in 1920.

After the end of the monarchy, the former imperial family lived a civilian life in Chasun, before fleeing the country during the Chasunese War alltogether by 1958. While political parties and activist groups attempted to revive the Chasunese monarchy with the help of the imperial family, crackdown on political dissidents by the Second Republic of Chasun and rising anti-monarchist sentiment beginning in the 1960s prevented the family from returning to Chasun and any political reforms from materializing. Today, the descendants of the Chasunese imperial family from the Gon clan and pretenders to the Chasunese throne live in Yudong, and continue to advocate for a return of the Charasŏn monarchy.
