The Gokbu Gong clan (Korean곡부 공씨; Hanja曲阜 孔氏) is one of the Korean clans originally from China. Their Bon-gwan (Korean본관; Hanja本貫) are in Qufu, Shandong in China, which was also Confucius's birthplace.[1][2] Qufu is known as Gokbu (Korean곡부) in Korean. According to the South Korean 2000 census, the number of individuals identifying with the Gokbu Gong clan was 74,135. The apical ancestor of the clan was Confucius.

In 1351, Kong Shao (孔紹, 1304-1381; known as 공소 [Gong So] in Korean), claimed to be one of the Duke Yansheng Kong Huan's (孔浣, 53rd generation descendant of Confucius) sons, and was naturalized in Goryeo as a fatherly master of Queen Noguk, who had an marriage to an ordinary person planned by Gongmin of Goryeo at the Yuan dynasty's Hanlin Academy. Kong Shao became a Menxia Shilang (hanja: 門下侍郎) and was granted lands in the Changwon area. He subsequently became a middle founder of the Gokbu Gong clan.[1]
