'''Jeonji''' (died 420) (r. 405–420) was the [[List of monarchs of Korea|eighteenth king]] of [[Baekje]], one of the [[Three Kingdoms of Korea]].

'''Jeonji of Baekje''' (reigned [[405]]–[[420]]) wasAs the eighteentheldest king of the ancient [[Korea]]n kingdom of [[Baekje]]son, one of the [[Three Kingdoms of Korea]]. Hehe was confirmed as successor to [[Asin of Baekje|King Asin]], his father, in [[394]]. His queen was Lady Palsu of the [[Hae clan of Baekje|Hae clan]].

Jeonji spent much of his youth in the [[Wa (Japan)|Wa]] kingdom of [[Yamato period|Yamato]] [[Japan]] as hostage, going there in [[397]]. Upon his father’sfather's death, he returned home to find that his uncle [[Seollye]] had murdered Hunhae, Asin's other brother, and usurped the throne. [[Hae clan|Hae Chung]], an inhabitant of [[Hanseong]], warned him not to enter the capital. Shortly thereafter, Seollye was killed and Jeonji made king. Presumably out of gratitude for this, Jeonji made several members of the Hae clan ministers, as well as marrying Lady Palso of the Hae clan. This put an end to the royal family’sfamily's close ties to the [[Jin clan of Baekje|Jin clan]].

The traditional dates of Jeonji's rule are based on the ''[[Samguk Sagisagi]]''. On the basis of more contemporaneous Chinese records, Best (1979) has suggested that the years 405–[[414]] are more plausible.

According to the ''[[Samguk Sagisagi]]'', in [[406]] Baekje sent a tribute mission to the [[China|Chinese]] court of [[Jin Dynasty (265-420)|Eastern Jin]]. It is the first mention of such a mission in more than twenty years, and may indicate that the country had become more secure against [[Goguryeo]]. It would have been typical to send such an embassy to inform the Chinese court that a new king had taken power. However, this visit is not confirmed by Chinese sources. In 416 Jin sent envoys to grant the title "General Stabilizing the East" to Jeonji(Yeo Yeong).{{citation needed|date=July 2025}}
