Princess Gyeongnyeong (Korean경녕궁주; Hanja敬寧宮主; 1185–?) was a Goryeo Royal Princess as the second and youngest daughter of King Sinjong and Queen Seonjeong,[1] also the youngest sister of King Huijong, Duke Yangyang, and Princess Hyohoe.[2]

She was born in 1185 and in 1199, she formally became a Princess (공주, 公主) when her older sister, Princess Hyohoe, died at 17 years old.[3] Later, in 1201, she married Wang Jeong (왕정) and was given royal title Count Siheung (시흥백),[4] later becoming Duke Hoean (회안공).[5] Her husband was the brother of Queen Seongpyeong, the second wife of King Huijong making them in-law’s. With Wang Jeong, she had 3 sons[6] and their second son later married Princess Suheung who was her grandniece. Wang Jeong was the descendant of Wang Gi, Duke Pyeongyang (왕기 평양공), King Hyeonjong's son. The Princess seemed to have died around the 13th century, and her husband died in 1234.
