Queen Seonui of the Chŏngju Yu clan (Korean: 선의왕후 유씨; Hanja: 宣義王后 柳氏) or formally called Grand Queen Mother Seonui (Korean: 선의왕태후; Hanja: 宣義王太后), was a Goryeo princess, second daughter of King Taejo and Queen Jeongdeok. She married her half brother, Daejong of Goryeo, giving birth to three sons (among which King Seongjong), and two daughters, Queen Heonae and Queen Heonjeong.

Seonui and her husband died when their children were still young, so they were raised by their paternal grandmother. Both she and her husband were posthumously honoured as a king and queen after their second son, Wang Chi, ascended the throne.
