Kil Sŏnju (Korean: 길선주; Hanja: 吉善宙; 25 March 1869 – 26 November 1935) was one of the first Koreans ordained as a Presbyterian minister. Considered by some to be the father of Korean Christianity, he was an early supporter of Korean nationalism, and shaped the nature of Korean Protestant Christianity.
