Han Tae-song is a diplomat from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) who most recently served as its ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva.

As a career diplomat, he has served as North Korea's top envoy to Italy, Malta, Greece and Spain. In 1992, while serving in Zimbabwe, he was expelled from the country after being caught engaging in the illicit trafficking of rhino horns.

He was recalled in December 2023 amid North Korean and Swiss investigations into his alleged involvement in ivory trafficking.
