King Chungsuk was king of the Goryeo kingdom, now part of Korea, from 1313–1330 and again from 1332–1339.

In 1314 King Chungseon passed the throne to his son Chungsuk. In 1321 Chungsuk fathered his son Buddhashri. This prompted the previous crown prince of Goryeo, Öljeitü, to establish an alliance with King Sidibala, and King Chungsuk was thus interned in 1321. However, Sidibala was assassinated in 1323 and Öljeitü's plan was aborted.

King Chungsuk, who was allowed to return to Goryeo in 1325, passed the throne to Buddhashri in 1330 but was reinstated after two years because Buddhashri was deposed by King Yuan.

King Chungsuk died in 1339.
