The Mugunghwa-ho is a class of train operated by Korail, main railway operator of South Korea. Mugunghwa trains are Korail's slowest tier of trains stopping at a number of towns and villages, and operating over a number of lines that are not served by other trains. Journey times are generally well over double that of KTX trains and 25% longer than express trains. In 1980, new express train, named 우등, was introduced. Soon it was renamed as Mugunghwa-ho, which was a name of an express train operated in the 1960s.

Mugunghwa are built to accommodate large numbers of standing passengers, and frequently have many more standees than sitting passengers.
