Yu Sang

Yu Sang (; 1643–1723), alternatively Ryu Sang (), courtesy name Yeojin (汝珍, 여진), was a royal court physician and politician of the Korean Joseon dynasty. He was a smallpox specialist who successfully treated three Joseon kings.

In 1693, due to having cured Sukjong's smallpox, he was granted a political office. Later he became the governor of Seosan, Goyang, Hapcheon and Saknyeong.

His experiences with smallpox are detailed in his book, ''Gogeum Gyeongheom Hwalyubang'' ().
