Dae Won-ui (r. 793-794, d. 794) was the 4th ruler of the Korean-Manchurian kingdom of Balhae. He was a kinsman of the previous king, King Mun; when Mun's son Dae Goeng-rim died, Won-ui was chosen as the next king.

However, upon ascending the throne the king showed a jealous and violent temper. In 794, he was slain by his ministers. The son of Goeng-rim was chosen to replace him, becoming King Seong.
