Heonjong of Joseon (1827-1849, r. 1834-1849) was the twenty-fourth king of the Joseon Dynasty of Korea. He was the grandson of Sunjo, and his mother was Queen Sinjeong of the Pungyang Jo clan. At the age of eight, he rose to the throne, but not to power. The kingdom remained in the hands of the Andong Kims, the family of his grandmother Queen Sunwon. In 1840, power passed to his mother's family, following the anti-Catholic Gihae persecution of 1839.

Heonjong died in 1849 without an heir. He was buried at the Gyeongneung tomb.

As was customary with the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, the chronicle of Heonjong's reign was compiled after his death, in 1851. The compilation of the 16-volume chronicle was supervised by Jo In-yeong.
