Park Kyung-hwa (also Park Gyeong-hwa, Korean: 박 경화; born August 29, 1984) is a South Korean former swimmer, who specialized in butterfly events. She won a bronze medal as a member of the South Korean team in the 4×100 m medley relay (4:13.41), when her nation hosted the 2002 Asian Games in Busan.

Park qualified for the women's 100 m butterfly at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 1:01.79 from the Dong-A Swimming Tournament in Seoul. She challenged seven other swimmers on the second heat, including five-time Olympian Mette Jacobsen of Denmark. She rounded out the field to last place by a tenth of a second (0.10) behind Hong Kong's Sze Hang Yu in 1:02.52. Park failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed thirty-third overall on the first day of preliminaries.
