Grand Prince Anpyeong (; October 27, 1418 – November 27, 1453), personal name Yi Yong (), was a prince of the Joseon Dynasty. A calligrapher, poet, and painter, he is the third eldest son of King Sejong and Queen Soheon.

Life

Grand Prince Anpyeong was born in 1418, the year of King Sejong's accession to the throne. His courtesy name was Cheongji (淸之), his pen names were Biheodang (匪懈堂), Nanggan Geosa (琅玕居士), and Maejukheon (梅竹軒).

In 1428, he was granted the title of Grand Prince Anpyeong (安平大君) and in 1430, he entered Sungkyunkwan with several other princes to study. He became the adoptive grandson of his uncle, Prince Seongnyeong (誠寧大君) in 1431. In 1447, he commissioned the painting Mongyudowondo (몽유도원도) from artist An Gyeon after dreaming of utopia. The painting's literal translation in English is Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land.

In 1453, the first year of King Danjong's reign, he was executed by his second older brother, Grand Prince Suyang, along with Kim Jong-seo and Hwangbo In, for plotting a coup. He was later reinstated during the reign of King Sukjong. His posthumous name was Jang So (章昭).
