Ahn Jung-hwan (Hangul: 안정환; Hanja: ; Korean pronunciation: [an.dʑʌŋ.ɦwan] or [an] [tɕʌŋ.ɦwan]; born 27 January 1976 in Paju, Gyeonggi) is a South Korean former football player and television personality. He made world headlines by scoring the winning golden goal for South Korea against Italy in the 2002 FIFA World Cup second round, and earning him dismissal from the Italian club Perugia.

Ahn also played for clubs in Japan, France, Germany and China, as well as being selected for South Korea in two more World Cups, in 2006 and 2010. After his retirement as a football player, he restarted his career as a television show host (JTBC's Please Take Care of My Refrigerator and many others) and also as a football commentator.

Ahn is sometimes called "the Lord of the Ring" by Korean fans. He married former Miss Korea Lee Hye-won (Hangul: 이혜원) in 2001 and got this nickname by kissing his wedding ring after every goal he scores. Ahn has a daughter and a son named, Ahn Lee Won and Ahn Li Hwan.
