Chungjeong of Goryeo (1338 – 23 March 1351, r. 1348–1351) was the 30th ruler of the Goryeo dynasty of Korea and was enthroned by imperial edict at the age of 12. During Chungjeong's brief reign, the politics of the court were controlled by powerful relatives of the royal family, including his mother's relative Yun Si-u and the retainer Bae Jeon. In addition, the country endured heavy Wokou raids beginning in 1349.

Chungjeong's uncle Wang Gi secured imperial favor and married a Yuan daughter, Princess Noguk. Shortly thereafter Chungjeong was deposed, and Wang Gi ascended the throne as King Gongmin.
