Bo Hi Pak (born August 18, 1930) is a member of the Unification Church.

A Lieutenant Colonel in the South Korean army, he joined the nascent Unification Church in the 1950s, later rising to become Rev. Sun Myung Moon's chief aide. During the 1970s and 1980s, he was Moon's interpreter and ran several non-profit foundations which advanced church goals. He was appointed as president of the Unification Church International from 1977 until 1991.

He has also been an active figure in the Washington Times Corporation, serving at times as President and the Chairman of the Board.

Pak's assistant, James Gavin, wrote:

Politics in a paper with several hundred employees was always interesting, to say the least; however, Dr. Pak was respected by the business side as well as the editorial side of the paper and ran a pretty smooth ship. The editorial people liked the fact that Dr. Pak just let them do their job and didn't meddle in the content of the paper [1]
