Saban of Baekje (?-?, r. 234) was the 7th king of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. He was the eldest son of the 6th king Gusu.

According to the Samguk Sagi, Saban was found too young to rule and quickly succeeded (the Samguk Yusa says deposed) by King Goi, the younger brother of the 5th king Chogo. This is interpreted by scholars as a power struggle within the court, and the rise of the Jin clan over the Hae clan.

Nothing is known of the birth, later life, or death of Saban. However, he is recorded in some Japanese chronicles, including Shinsen Shojiroku, as the progenitor of certain clans of Yamato period Japan. This may indicate that he spent the later part of his life in that country.
