Ryu Tongnyŏl (Korean: 류동열; Hanja: 柳東說, March 26, 1879 – October 18, 1950) was a Korean independence activist, a member of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, a guerrilla fighter in Manchuria, and a member of the Korean Liberation Army. He served briefly as the head of the Provisional Government in 1939, and, after the 1945 liberation of Korea, he served as the head of the U.S. occupational government's Unification Committee at the recommendation of Chough Pyung-ok and Lee Eung-jun. He was the first commander of a Korean unit after liberation, putting him at odds with the US military government and their claim that the appointment of a high-ranking officer should only be done by people from the yangban class, the traditional ruling class of dynastic Korea.
