Hong Ju-won (Korean홍주원; Hanja洪柱元; 1606 – 3 November 1672), formally called Lord Yeongan (영안위; 永安尉), of the Pungsan Hong clan (풍산 홍씨; 豊山 洪氏), was a Joseon nobleman and the husband of Princess Jeongmyeong, only daughter of King Seonjo and Queen Inmok. He was a great-great-great-grandfather of Lady Hyegyŏng, Crown Prince Sado's wife.

As a child, Hong learned how to write from his maternal grandfather, Yi Jeong-gwi (이정귀), and from Kim Ryu (김류). In addition, he enjoyed playing with scholars in search of scenic spots. Hong also had a deep friendship with Jo Seok-yun (조석윤) and Park Jang-won (박장원). It was said that he had soft and gentle personality.
