Song Jun-gil (Korean송준길; 28 December 1606 – 2 December 1672), also known by his art name Dongchundang, was a Korean politician and Neo-Confucian scholar, who lived during the Joseon Dynasty.

Born in Okcheon, North Chungcheong Province, he was the best friend and a distant relative of Song Si-yeol. His daughter, Lady Song, was the mother of Queen Inhyeon, who would become the second wife of King Sukjong.

Song Jun-gil's descendants through his second daughter had made him the maternal grandfather of Min Jin-hu, Min Jin-won, and Queen Inhyeon. He eventually became the 5th great-grandfather of Empress Myeongseong and the 6th great-grandfather of Empress Sunmyeong.

When Empress Myeongseong became Queen, she also close connections to the families of her 5th maternal great-grandmother (Eunjin Song clan), and 4th maternal great-grandmother (Jinju Jeong clan).
