Chu Yong-ha (Korean: 주영하; Korean pronunciation: [tsu.jʌŋ.ɦa]; 1908 – ?) was a North Korean politician and diplomat. Chu was elected into several posts in the Workers' Party of North Korea, the predecessor of the Workers' Party of Korea, in its early days. Chu was the target of plots ensuing from factional strife within the party. As a member of the Domestic faction, Chu was opposed by the Guerrilla, Soviet and Yan'an factions.
During the Korean War, Chu was North Korea's ambassador to Moscow. After the war, a fictitious plot against Kim Il Sung was "uncovered" in a show trial. Among the claims against the defendants was overthrowing Kim Il Sung and making Pak Hon-yong the new premier, and Chu one of his vice-premiers.
