Jung Sung-ryong (Hangul: 정성룡; born 4 January 1985) is a South Korean football goalkeeper, who currently plays for the South Korean national team and Kawasaki Frontale.
Jung Sung-ryong, who was born in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province, started playing football in Gwangju Elementary School and graduated Seogwipo Middle School and Seogwipo High School.
In 2003, he signed his first professional contract with Pohang Steelers. Having failed to make any appearances for the club in the first three years, he finally started to become the first choice goalkeeper, playing 15 games in 2006 and helping the club to win 2007 K League championship and be Korean FA Cup Runners up.
In February 2008, with Kim Yong-dae joining the Korean military team Jung was transferred to Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma as a replacement. and contributed to the team's 2009 K League runners-up campaign. Ahead of the 2010 season Kim Yong-dae moved to FC Seoul and so Jung was able to keep his starting role.
On 28 January 2011, it was announced that Jung had joined Suwon Samsung Bluewings on a five-year deal for undisclosed fee. His first game was on 2 March 2011 when Jung played against Australian side Sydney FC in the AFC Champions League.
Jung made his national team debut on 30 January 2008 in a friendly match against Chile, conceding one goal in a 0–1 defeat. On 27 July 2008, he scored a goal from 85 m (93 yd) in the U-23 friendly match against Ivory Coast, setting a Guinness record, which was not broken until Everton keeper Tim Howard scored from 93 m (102 yd) in 2012. In the national team, Jung used to be the understudy to South Korean Lee Woon-jae, but Lee's retirement made Jung South Korea's first-choice goalkeeper.
