Gyeongjong of Joseon (1688-1724, reigned 1720-1724) was the 20th king of the Joseon Dynasty of Korea. He was the son of Sukjong by Lady Hee-bin of the Jang clan.

In 1690, Gyeongjong's designation as heir to the throne precipitated a struggle between the Noron faction, which supported his half-brother Prince Yeoning, and the Soron faction, which supported Gyeongjong of Joseon. Due to this struggle, Soron scholars were kept out of power and factional strife reached a high point during Gyeongjong's reign.

After his death, Gyeongjong was buried in the "Uireung" tomb in Seokgwan-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul. The chronicles of Gyeongjong's rule were published under the reign of Yeongjo's reign in 1732. A few of his youthful calligraphic works have also survived: [http://147.46.103.163/HEJ/HEJ_ENGHVIEW.jsp?cn=GK11961_00]
