Chung Yoo-ra (Korean: 정유라; born 30 October 1996), birth name Chung Yoo-yeon (정유연), is a South Korean equestrian. She competed in the 2014 Asian Games, where her team won a gold medal.
She is a daughter of Chung Yoon-hoi and his ex-wife Choi Soon-sil, who has been arrested amid the 2016 South Korean political scandal for using her friendship with the president Park Geun-hye to illegally interfere in state affairs. Choi allegedly solicited business donations from top South Korean firms, including Samsung, for a nonprofit organization that was controlled by her.
