Lee Seung-chil (born 6 April 1862) was a Korean soldier and a government official during the Japanese occupation.

Life
He was a military officer who served as a platoon leader of the Kyodo Company in 1894, a squadron commander of the 2nd Battalion of the SS in 1895, and a squadron commander of the Uiju Jinwi Battalion in 1900. In 1907, he was appointed as the judge of the court martial, and the following year, he was appointed as the head of Goksan-gun, Hwanghae-do.

With the conclusion of the Korea-Japan annexation treaty in 1910, he was re-appointed as the head of Goksan County and served as the head of the Joseon Governor-General. In 1912, the Japanese government received the Korean Merger Commemoration Medal in commemoration of the annexation of Korea and Japan, and in 1914, he became the head of Jaryeong-gun County and moved to the forest.

The March 1st Movement took place in 1919, when he was serving as a county governor. Lee Seung-chil mobilized local government officials to organize an altar for re-aged people and prevent the spread of the independence movement. Shin Eung-hee, the minister of Hwanghae-do at the time, issued a warning containing a threat that participating in the independence movement would lead to death and devastation, and the county governors convened a meeting to deliver the information and urged them to set up self-control groups on each side.

In 1920, he returned to Goksan-gun County and was awarded the Hun 6th place Seo Bo. The following year, he resigned from his office and was elected as a member of the Hwanghae-do Provincial Council in 1924.
