Yi Inmun (Korean: 이인문; Hanja: 李寅文; 1745–1821), also known as Yuch'un, was a court painter of the late Joseon Dynasty, primarily of landscapes. He also held a military position in the court. Perhaps his best-known work is a silk scroll entitled Gangsan mujindo (강산무진도; 江山無盡圖; lit. Streams and Mountains Without End), which is displayed in the National Museum of Korea in Seoul.
