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