Queen Gyeonghwa of the Incheon Yi clan (Hangul: 경화왕후 이씨, Hanja: 敬和王后 李氏; 1079–1109[2]) was a Goryeo Royal Princess as the only daughter of King Seonjong and Consort Jeongsin[3][4] who became a Queen Consort though her marriage with her first cousin, King Yejong as his first and primary wife. As a Princess, she therefore was called as Princess Yeonhwa (Korean연화공주; Hanja延和公主).

She then followed her mother's clan, the Incheon Yi and married in 1106, along with she whom formally became Yejong's queen. Beside their relationship before as a first cousin, Yejong was said to love her very much due to her appearance and attitude were clear and extraordinary beautiful. However, she later died on her 31 years old in 1109 and Yejong was said to be very sad about this, then buried her in Jareung Tomb (자릉, 慈陵) and gave her Posthumous name.
