Emperor Anjang of Goguryeo (?-531, r. 519-531) was the 22nd ruler of Goguryeo, the northernmost of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. He was the eldest son of Emperor Munjamyeong. He was named Crown Prince in the seventh year of Munjamyeong's reign (498), and assumed the throne when that emperor died in 519.

Under Anjang, Goguryeo continued to maintain close relations with the Chinese dynasties, notably Wei and Liang, to counterbalance the volatile relationship with the southerly Korean kingdoms of Baekje and Silla. He attacked Baekje in 523 and 529.

When Anjang died without heir in 531, he was succeeded by his younger brother, Anwon.
