The Chingbirok (Korean: 징비록; Hanja: 懲毖錄; Korean pronunciation: [t͡ɕiŋbiɾok̚]; also called the Book of Corrections) is a first hand account of the Imjin War written by high ranking Joseon scholar-official Yu Sŏngnyong. It is written in hanja.

Party to high level decision making on the allied Ming-Joseon side and able to access all Joseon records, Yu Sŏngnyong's Chingbirok has become an invaluable source in the study of the conflict, and Chinese-Korean-Japanese relations. In 1969 the Chingbirok was listed as the 132nd of the National Treasures of South Korea.
