Queen Soheon (12 October 1395 – 19 April 1446) (소헌왕후 심씨) was Queen Consort to King Sejong of Joseon and the mother of King Munjong of Joseon and King Sejo of Joseon.

Queen Soheon (소헌왕후) was the first daughter born to Lord Shim On (심온, 1375 – December 25, 1418) and Lady Sunheung of the Ahn clan (순흥부부인 안씨). She was granddaughter of Sim Deok-bu (심덕부, 1328–1401) Her paternal uncle, Sim Jong is Taejo's son-in-law (created Prince Consort Cheongwon) thru his marriage to Princess Gyeongseon.

Queen Soheon was buried with her husband, King Sejong in a burial mound, surrounded by statues of scholars, military officials, and horses. The site has a memorial shrine and pond. Their tomb, Yeongneung, is within the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty, west of the city of Yeoju.

Prince Suyang commissioned the creation of the Seokbosangjeol after the death of his mother, Queen Soheon, intending it to ease her passage to the next life. It was, however, also made available to the general population of Korea, to encourage the propagation of the Buddhist faith. It was translated from Chinese to Korea's native hangul characters, and as such represents the oldest form of indigenous Korean written text. The book was written at his father's request, and included more than 580 Buddhist lyrics by Sejong in ‘’Wolincheongangligok". It was first published in 24 volumes in 1447 C.E. An original edition is held at the National Library of Korea in Seoul, where it is designated a Tangible Cultural Treasure.
