Lady Hyegyeong (6 August 1735 – 13 January 1816) also known as Queen Heongyeong was a Korean writer and noblewoman. She was the wife of Crown Prince Sado and mother of Yi San who became King Jeongjo during the Joseon Dynasty.
Lady Hyegyeong witnessed her husband's execution which was ordered by her father-in-law King Yeongjo of Joseon and later wrote the The Memoirs of Lady Hyegyeong (Hangul: 한중록; RR: Hanjungnok), detailing her life as the ill-fated Crown Princess, her husband's descent into madness and the deeds for which he was eventually put to death.
