Dae Wihae (r. 894-906, d. 906) was the 14th king of the kingdom of Balhae. Some lists of Balhae kings do not include him, although his name does appear in the Chinese chronicle Tang Huiyao (唐會要). His temple name and era name are unknown.

Although history of his days did not exist abundantly, it was considered that he made lots of progress in diplomatic fields. He sent many delegates to Japan, Tang in 894 and 905 respectively. It was until 1940 that his definite existence was unrevealed and finally Kim yuk bul and some Chinese historians came to find out the name Dae Wihae for the first time.
