An Jung-sik (Korean: 안중식; Hanja: 安中植, 1861–1919), art name Simjeon (심전), was an artist who lived at the very end of the Joseon period.

An is known for being one of the last painters under the Royal Bureau of Painting, the official painting organization for the Korean monarchy.^[1] After the Japanese Annexation of Korea, An became a teacher for multiple painting and calligraphy schools and institutions, inspiring and leading the next generation of Korean painters. He also created his own association called the Association of Painters and Calligraphers (Sohwa Hyeophoe 서화협회), where exhibitions for Korean artists to showcase their work would be hosted.^[1] An worked here until his death in 1919, which signified the end of traditional Joseon court painting technique and style.
