On Dal (died 590), commonly referred to by Koreans as "On Dal the——Brave" (yong-gamhan ondal (용감한 온달)), was a Goguryeo General and the husband of Princess Pyeonggang.

A legend tells that he was unusually tall, "his face was handsome." And he had a good heart. His family was poor, so he begged for his mother. Though of middle-class origin, he later married King Pyeongwon of Goguryeo's daughter Princess Pyeonggang and then become a general. He died bravely leading the Goguryeo garrison in 590 at Achasanseong Fortress during battle against the Silla army.
