Prince Imperial Waneun (Korean완은군; Hanja完恩君; 1 August 1842 – 28 October 1881) was a prince of the Korean Empire and a member of the Joseon period royal family. He was a descendant of Prince Namyeon[1] and an illegitimate son of Heungseon Daewongun and his concubine Kyeseongwol. He was an older half-brother of Gojong of Korea and Prince Imperial Heung, and a half-uncle of Prince Youngsun and Emperor Sunjong of Korea. His personal name was Yi Jae-seon (이재선; 李載先). His Chinese name is unknown.

In 1881, he was implicated in a conspiracy to dethrone Gojong and his queen, and was executed.
