'Mokjong of Goryeo' (980-1009, r. 997-1009) was the seventh ruler of the Goryeo dynasty of Korea.
Mokjong is remembered for his reform of the ''jeonsigwa'' land-allotment system, and for a plot by his mother and her lover Kim Chi-yang to overthrow him. In the course of the turbulent events surrounding the plot, Mokjong was dethroned and sent into exile in Chungju. However, he was slain before he got there.
Mokjong's tomb was known as ''Gongneung'', but its present location is not known.
