Queen Sinui (Korean신의왕후 한씨; Hanja神懿王后 韓氏; 6 October 1337 – 25 November 1391),[4] of the Cheongju Han clan, was the first wife of Yi Seong-gye (future King Taejo of Joseon). She was the mother of King Jeongjong and King Taejong.

She was firstly given the title of Consort Jeol (절비; 節妃) in 1393. After her second son (Yi Bang-gwa) became king, she was posthumously honored as Queen Sinui (신의왕후; 神懿王后). In 1899, after the founding of the Korean Empire, she was elevated as Sinui, the Dignified Empress (신의고황후; 神懿高皇后).[5]
