Ham Seok-heon (13 March 1901 - 4 February 1989) was a notable figure in the Religious Society of Friends (Quaker) movement in Korea.
He was an important Asian voice for human rights and non-violence during the 20th century, despite numerous imprisonments for his convictions.
He was formally a Quaker, which is a nonsectarian Christian group, but he also concluded that all religions are one, atypical of most Christian thinkers.
He was nicknamed the "Gandhi of Korea."
In 2000, Seok-Heon Ham was selected by the Republic of Korea as a national cultural figure.
