Jinpyeong of Silla (r. 579-632) was king of Silla, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.

Jinpyeong succeeded King Jinji (576–579) and since he had no sons, was succeeded by his oldest daughter Queen Seondeok (632–647).

He had additional two daughters, Chonmyoung who was the mother of Kim chun chu, who becomes King Muyeol of Silla. His third daughter was Seonhwa, legends has it, debated, married King Mu of Baekje of the neighboring country.

During his reign, many conflicts with Beakje and Goguryeo arose, and Jinpyeong sent emissaries to Tang to improve relations with China and pressurize Goguryeo and Baekje. Due to this fact, Silla's relations with the other Korean nations deterioriated, but gained more of China's support which later contributed to the Unification of Silla.
