Bunseo of Baekje (died 304, r. 298–304) was the tenth king of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. He was the eldest son of the ninth king Chaekgye. He continued to wage war against the Chinese Lelang commandery whose forces had killed his father.
In 304, he captured a western district of the Lelang commandery. According to the Samguk Sagi, the governor of the commandery thereupon sent an assassin who poisoned him.
With the death of Bunseo, a descendent of the 8th king Goi, the rival royal line descended from the 5th king Chogo retook the throne, except for the brief rule of Bunseo's son Gye as the 12th king.
