  Yun Myeong (?-?) was a scholar-official of the Joseon Dynasty Korea in the 15th century.
  
  He was also diplomat and ambassador, representing Joseon interests in a diplomatic mission to the Ashikaga shogunate in Japan.
  
  ## 1406 mission to Japan
  
  King Taejong dispatched a diplomatic mission to Japan in 1406. This delegation to court of Ashikaga Yoshimochi was led by Yun Myeong. The purpose of this diplomatic embassy was to respond to a message sent to the Joseon court by the Japanese shogun.
  
  The Japanese hosts may have construed this mission as tending to confirm a Japanocentric world order. Yun Myeong's actions were more narrowly focused in negotiating protocols for Joseon-Japan diplomatic relations.
