Seondeok of Silla (r. 780-785, d. 785) was the successor to King Hyegong and the 37th to rule the Korean kingdom of Silla. He was an eleventh-generation descendant of King Naemul, and the son of "haechan" Kim Hyo-bang by King Seongdeok's daughter Lady Saso. He married Lady Gujok, the daughter of "gakgan" Kim Yang-pum.

Seondeok served under King Hyegong in the position of "sangdaedeung". When the rebellion of Kim Ji-jeong broke out in 780, he led the royal forces against the rebels. However, the rebels stormed the palace and slew the king, and Seondeok was obliged to take the throne for himself.

After his death in 785, Seondeok was cremated and his ashes scattered on the Sea of Japan (East Sea). Seondeok's successor was King Wonseong.
