Chu Yong-ha (Korean: 주녕하; 1908 – ?) was a North Korean politician and diplomat. Chu was elected into several posts in the Workers' Party of North Korea, the predecessor of the Workers' Party of Korea, in its early days. Chu was the target of plots ensuing from factional strife within the party. As a member of the Domestic faction, Chu was opposed by the Kapsan, Soviet and Yan'an factions.
During the Korean War, Chu was North Korea's ambassador to Moscow. After the war, a fictitious plot against Kim Il-sung was "uncovered" in a show trial. Among the claims against the defendants was overthrowing Kim Il-sung and making Pak Hon-yong the new premier, and Chu one of his vice-premiers.
Chu was born in 1908.
Chu was part of the Political Committee of the Workers' Party of North Korea that was founded in August 1946 as a compromise between rivaling factions of communists on the orders of the Soviets. Chu represented the Domestic faction in the newly formed party.
In the First Congress of the party in August 28–30, 1946, Chu was elected to the Political Committee (Politburo) of the first Central Committee of the party. On the same occasion, Chu was elected vice-chairman of the Secretariat of the party. Chu precided the session on August 30. In addition, Chu was elected vice-chairman of the party, along with Kim Il-sung in the first plenum of the Central Committee on August 31.
