'''Myoch'ŏng''' () was a Korean Buddhist monk, rebel and geomancer of the royal court of the Goryeo dynasty.

==Myoch'ŏng's Rebellion== During the reign of King Injong of Goryeo, Myoch'ŏng argued that Goryeo had become weakened by Confucian ideals. His views directly conflicted with those of the predominant neo-Confucian court officials, represented by Kim Pusik. On a broader scale, this represented the ongoing struggle between the Confucian and Buddhist elements and factions in Goryeo royal court.
