Lady Daemyeong of the Chŏngju Yu clan (Korean: 대명궁부인 유씨; Hanja: 大明宮夫人 柳氏; lit.'Lady Yu of the Daemyeong Palace') was a member of the Goryeo royal family. She was the paternal and maternal granddaughter of King Taejo, via Prince Wonjang and Princess Heungbang who were both half-siblings.[2] She became the fifth wife of King Gyeongjong.[3][4] She married her first cousin and thus followed her grandmother's clan, the Chŏngju Yu. She had a brother about whom detailed records were not kept.

Although Gyeongjong's first four consorts were posthumously honoured as queens, she was the only one not to receive a posthumous rank of queen. It was expected that among the royal family there would be discrimination in treatment according to status.
