Jung Jo-gook (Hangul정조국; Hanja鄭助國; born 23 April 1984) is a South Korean footballer who plays for Gangwon FC.

In 2003, after graduating Daesin High School and leaving its football team, Jung Jo-Gook joined FC Seoul (then known as Anyang LG Cheetahs) for his senior club, where he played as a striker in the team. He scored 12 goals in 32 appearances in his debut season and received K League Rookie of the Year in 2003. However, his good form did not last and he experienced a slump until 2007 because of continuous injury. In the second half of the 2008, he recovered his good performance and scored 8 goals in 14 appearances. In 2010 K League, he succeeded in scoring double-digit goals again in 7 years and led FC Seoul to champion of 2010 season.

After spearheading FC Seoul‘s run to the K League title, Jung agreed terms with French Ligue 1 outfit AJ Auxerre. By accepting Auxerre's contract offer, he became the third Korean at the time to ply his trade in Ligue 1. On 3 January 2010, Jung signed a two-and-a-half-year deal. He made his AJ Auxerre debut against ES Wasquehal on 8 January 2011, coming on as substitute for the 62nd minutes in the 1–2 away defeat in the French Cup. On 29 January 2011, Jung made his Ligue 1 debut for AJ Auxerre, coming on as a substitute in the 85th minute in the 2–0 defeat by SM Caen.

In the 2010–11 season, Jung made 15 appearances as a reserve player for Auxerre, scoring 2 goals. However, he lost his first team place and even as a substitute during the 2011–12 season, and subsequently signed for Ligue 1 rivals AS Nancy on 16 September 2011, on loan until the end of the season.
