Ho-Jon is a fictional character in the film M*A*S*H, where he was played by Kim Atwood, and the television series M*A*S*H, where he was played by Patrick Adiarte. It has been said that the name Ho-Jon is not actually Korean.

Ho-Jon was the Korean houseboy working at MASH 4077 under Hawkeye Pierce and Trapper John McIntyre. He was accepted at Hawkeye's old college, and the doctors tried to raise funds for him in the pilot episode. Later in the show, while he was still working, Ho-Jon also stole Hawkeye's poker winnings to bribe the border guards so that his family would be able to escape to South. However, in the pilot, after receiving the acceptance letter, he left the scene to tell his parents, who presumably lived nearby.

The character was dropped at the end of the show's first season, presumably as the character left for America as a medical student as was implied in the pilot.

In the movie, Ho-Jon was forcibly conscripted into the army of the Republic of Korea while on a trip to Seoul with Hawkeye and Trapper John. The surgeons had given him drugs to induce hypertension and tachycardia (so he would fail any induction physical), and taken him with them on the trip. However, Ho-Jon was detained by the army for induction, and was about to be rejected for medical reasons, when a Korean doctor noticed he worked at an American hospital, and saw through the drug ruse. The last that was seen of Ho-Jon, he was being lead away by South Korean soldiers while the Korean doctor was telling Hawkeye and Trapper John he saw through their trick.
