"Kimchijeon" or "kimchi jeon" (IPA2|kimtɕʰi dʑʌn) is a variety of "jeon", or Korean pancake-like dish, primarily made with sliced kimchi, flour batter and sometimes any other available vegetables. Kimchi, spicy pickled vegetables seasoned with chili pepper and jeotgal, is a staple in Korean cuisine. The dish is good for using up ripened kimchi.

It is served as an appetizer, snack or "banchan" (side dish).

When preparing it is usual to add brine from kimchi, especially that of "baechu kimchi", made from Napa cabbage. The brine lends its red color to the batter but is not spicy itself. Along with kimchi, it is served as anju with alcoholic beverages such as "makgeolli" or "dongdongju".
