Im Moon-hwan (11 June 1907 ~19 June 1993) was a South Korean official during the Japanese occupation.

After graduating from Tokyo Imperial University during the Japanese colonial period, he passed the high civil service examination and worked as an official of the Japanese Government-General of Korea. He served as a minister in the First Republic and later served as a businessman and vice president of the Federation of Korean Industries. Park Yong-gon's in-laws will be linked to Doosan Group. He was also the father-in-law of politician Hong Sa-deok.

It was selected in the bureaucratic category among the list of prospective candidates for the pro-Japanese biographical dictionary of the Institute for Ethnic Affairs announced in 2008.

He left a memoir, "Recollections of bureaucrats who served the Japanese Empire and the Republic of Korea" (Korean version 1974 and Japanese version 2011).

In the early 1960s, scholarships were donated to needy middle and high school students in Geumsan, his birthplace. It was in return for the help he received from the philanthropists during his difficult school days.
