Rhee Taekwon-Do (리태권도; 李跆拳道), also known as Rhee Tae Kwon-Do, Rhee Tae Kwon Do, or Rhee Taekwondo, is a martial art school in Australia and New Zealand teaching the Korean martial art of taekwondo. Its full name is "Rhee International Taekwon-Do" with "(Australia)" or "(New Zealand)" appended. Chong Chul Rhee, one of the original masters of taekwondo, founded the school in the mid-1960s.〔(An interview with World Master Chong Chul Rhee, 8th Dan, the Father of Australian Taekwon-Do ) ''Australasian Fighting Arts'' (March 1985). Retrieved 13 June 2007.〕 Two of Rhee's brothers, Chong Hyup Rhee and Chong Yoon Rhee, later came to assist him in the 1970s. C. C. Rhee claims the title 'Father of Australian Taekwondo'〔〔See the ''Martial Arts'' section of the ''Yellow Pages'' telephone directory from any Australian state capital city since at least the 1980s.〕〔See the back cover of ''Australasian Fighting Arts'' since at least 1995, including volumes 17(6) from 1995, 18(4) from 1996, and 19(1) from 1997.〕 and Rhee Taekwon-Do is widely publicised as being Australia's first and biggest taekwondo school.〔〔〔(Rhee TaeKwon-Do Brisbane and Sunshine Coast ) (2009).

Rhee is a former unarmed combat instructor in the Korean Marines, and helped introduce taekwondo to Southeast Asia (notably in Malaysia and Singapore) before becoming the first taekwondo master sent to Australia by the Republic of Korea. Rhee has worked towards the reunification of Korea, serving as a member during the third through ninth terms—and as Chairman for the eighth term—of the Oceania Division of the Advisory Council on Democratic and Peaceful Unification.〔 Originally retrieved 24 April 2003; archived version retrieved 8 November 2011.〕 He has also served as Chairman of the Seoul Olympics Supporting Committee and founding President of the Korean Community Hall Construction Supporting Committee.〔 The Republic of Korea awarded Rhee the Dongbaeg Medal (동백장) in 2003 for promoting taekwondo and Korean culture over the past 33 years.〔 Two of Rhee's brothers, Chong Hyup Rhee and Chong Yoon Rhee, also hold the title of 'Master' in Rhee Taekwon-Do and assist him in managing parts of the school. Chong Hyup Rhee, 7th ''dan'', is in charge of operations in Melbourne.〔Anonymous (2005): (Crunch time for students ) ''Latrobe Valley Express'' (29 August 2005).
