Chŏng (Korean; Hanja; died 812?; r. 809–812?) was the seventh king of Balhae. He was the son of King Kang. Little is known of his reign, save that he chose the era name Yŏngdŏk (영덕; 永德; lit. 'eternal virtue'). After his death, his brother succeeded him as King Hŭi. He married and had a son named Tae Yŏnjin (대연진).
