Queen Sinjeong (????). (1809 - 1890), also known as Queen Dowager Hyoyu (?????), of the Pungyang Jo clan, was the only wife of Crown Prince Hyomyeong and mother of Heonjong of Joseon. She served as nominal regent during Gojong's minority, between 1864-1873, although she left all de facto power to the King's father, Heungseon Daewongun, and only kept the formal title.
