Seongdeok Daewang (Korean: 성덕왕; reigned 702–737) was the thirty-third king of the ancient Korean kingdom of Silla. He was the second son of King Sinmun and the younger brother of King Hyoso.
In 704 Seongdeok married Lady Baeso (posthumous Queen Seongjeong), a daughter of Kim Wontae; their son Junggyeong was named Crown Prince in 715. In 716 Seongjeong was dismissed from the palace, and Junggyeong died the following year. In 720 Seongdeok married Queen Sodeok, daughter of the minister Kim Sun-won; their sons included future kings Hyoseong and Gyeongdeok.
