Hyun, also spelled Hyeon or Hyon, Hyoun, is a Korean surname, a single-syllable Korean given name, and an element in many two-syllable Korean given names.[1] As given name meaning differs based on the hanja used to write it. There are 42 hanja with the reading "hyun"[2] on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be used in given names.

The 2000 South Korean Census found 81,807 people and 25,547 households with this family name.[3] In a study by the National Institute of the Korean Language based on 2007 application data for South Korean passports, it was found that 80.5% of people with this surname spelled it in Latin letters as Hyun in their passports.
