'''Jin Sun-Yu''' ({{Korean|hangul=진선유|hanja=陳善有}}, born December 17, 1988, in [[Daegu]], [[South Korea]]) is a South Korean [[Short track speed skating|short-track speed skater]]. She is a triple Olympic Champion from [[2006 Olympic Winter Games|2006]] and a three-time [[World Short Track Speed Skating Championships|Overall World Champion]] (for 2005–2007).

She was the winner of the gold medal in the 1500 meters and the silver medal in the 1000 meters at the [[2005 World Short Track Speed Skating Championships|2005 World Championships]], as she ended up as the overall champion. At the [[2006 World Short Track Speed Skating Championships|2006 World Championships]], Jin won the 1000, 1500, and 3000 meters on her way to a second consecutive overall championship.  She also finished first in the overall World Cup standings for the 2005–2006 season.

At the [[2006 Winter Olympics]], she won three [[gold medal]]s, winning women's individual 1000 meters, and 1500 meters events, and as a member of the South Korean women's victorious 3000 meter relay team. In doing so, Jin became the first athlete (by less than half an hour) from Korea to win three gold medals in one Olympics. [[Ahn Hyun-Soo]] matched Jin's achievement later by helping Korea to win men's 5000 meters relay.
