Sinchon Kang clan (Korean: 신천 강씨; Hanja: 信川 康氏) is a Korean clan from Sinchon County, Hwanghae Province. According to a census held in 2015, the clan has 52,945 members and in a census held in 2000, the clan had 13,909 families.
The daedongbo (a compilation genealogy book of related clans) of the Sinchon Kang clan claims that Kang Ho-gyŏng was the 67th generation descendant of Kang Hou (강후; 康侯), a grandson of King Wen of the Zhou dynasty. However, the historical veracity of that claim cannot be verified. Furthermore, the intermediate ancestor (중시조) of the Sinchon Kang clan is considered to be Kang Chi-yŏn, a 14th generation descendant of Kang Ho-gyŏng.
Kang Chin-ŭi, the great-grandmother of Taejo of Goryeo, was a member of the clan as she was the great-granddaughter of Kang Ho-gyeong, and the granddaughter of Kang Chung.
