Heonjong of Goryeo (r. 1094-1095) was the fourteenth emperor of the Goryeo Dynasty of Korea. He was the eldest son of Emperor Seonjong. According to the "Goryeosa", he was a bright child and excelled in writing by the age of 9.

In the year of his accession, Heonjong was faced by the rebellion of Yi Ja-ui, which was quickly put down. In the following year, he fell ill and gave up the throne to Emperor Sukjong, his uncle.
