Park Sang-in (, born 15 November 1952) is a South Korean football manager and former player who manages Korea National League club Busan Transportation Corporation. His sons Park Hyuk-soon and Park Seung-min are also footballers.

Playing career Park began his career at Changnyeong Middle School at the age of 13. He went through Dongnae High School, graduating in 1972. In the same year he joined the Commercial Bank of Korea. One year later, he joined the army in order to fulfil his military service.

In 1981, he had trials for Dutch club, Feyenoord, receiving a favorable response from the club. However, the contract foundered due to an objection of the player's labor union. In July 1981, he signed a contract with Bundesliga club MSV Duisburg for one year. He played only two league games though, due to a thigh injury.

He returned to South Korea and joined Hallelujah FC. He lifted the first championship of the K League with Hallelujah FC in 1983. He then went on to play for Hyundai Horang-i from 1986 to 1987.
