Jeon is a Korean given name of significant cultural and historical importance, particularly in Korea. It has been used for centuries as both a male and female name.

Notable figures bearing this name include Jeon Woo-chi, a prominent poet of the Goryeo Dynasty, and more recently, Jeon Hye-won, a celebrated South Korean actress.
"Interestingly, the name Jeon saw an even distribution of popularity over these two decades, with five births each in 1999 and 2018."
