The Pyeongsan Sin clan or Pyeongsan Shin clan (Korean: 평산 신씨) is one of the great aristocratic houses which originated from Korea. The clan was key in the foundation of the Goryeo dynasty and gained its power during this time. However, it became less prominent during the following Joseon dynasty. Not all Koreans with the family name Sin belong to the Pyeongsan Sin clan; only about 600,000 (about 70%) hail from this clan. Others belong to other unrelated clans, such as the Goryeong Sin clan, who produced 19th and 20th century notables as Sin Chaeho.
