Duke Angyeong (August 1223 – October ?) was a temporary king of the Korean Goryeo dynasty installed by the Goryeo military regime. He was the second son of King Gojong and the only full younger brother of King Wonjong. He was known before as Marquess Angyeong and Duke Angyeong. He was given a temple name of Yeongjong. Many Korean historians never fully recognize him as a King and his reign period is regarded as his brother's reign.
In 1253, 1259, 1265 and 1266, he visited the Yuan dynasty as an envoy when Goryeo dispatched a negotiating envoy. In 1269, he ascended the throne but dictator Im Yeon was deposed in favor of him. Not until a year, he was deposed under Yuan's pressure. King Gongyang tried to made a burial at his grave, but canceled due to the opposition from his ministers.
