Wonjong of Goryeo (1214-1274, r. 1260-1274) was the 24th ruler of the Goryeo dynasty of Korea. He ascended to the throne with the help of Kublai Khan. During his reign, Goryeo became a tributary ally of the Mongol-founded Yuan Dynasty in China.

He was also the last Korean ruler to use the title "emperor" before brief restoration of the title in late 19th century under the Korean Empire, as the Goryeo rulers henceforth were demoted to "kings" following the demands of Kublai Khan.

Wonjong was the eldest son of the previous emperor, Gojong.
