Geonhwang of Balhae (r. 857-871) was the 12th ruler of the Korean-Manchurian kingdom of Balhae. He was the younger brother of Dae Ijin, his predecessor on the throne.
Because none of Balhae's own records have survived, we know little of Geonhwang except that he sent a few missions to Japan and Tang China.
