Onesimus Dongsin Park (박동신 오네시모 Hanja 朴東信, born May 16, 1963[1]) is a South Korean Anglican bishop. He is the Anglican bishop of the Diocese of Busan and a former Primate of the Anglican Church of Korea.

Park was ordained to the priesthood in 1997 and consecrated as bishop of Busan in 2012.[2] His first term as primate ran from May 2017, when he filled the remainder of retired Archbishop Paul Kim's unexpired term, until June 2018.[3] In 2024, after Peter Kyongho Lee of the Diocese of Seoul reached the mandatory retirement age, Park was elected to a second non-consecutive two-year term as primate.[4] He was succeeded as primate by Elijah Jang-whan Kim in 2026.[5]
