Yi Kang, Prince Imperial Ui (Korean: 의친왕 이강; 30 March 1877 – 15 August 1955), also known as Prince Uihwa, was the second son of Emperor Gojong of Korea and his concubine, Lady Jang, who was a court lady-in-waiting.

He was not formally recognized as a legitimate prince until 1892, when his father issued a decree naming Yi "Prince Uihwa" with the style of Royal Highness. Yi married Lady Kim Su-deok, the daughter of court official Kim Sajun.

Prince Yi was not the Crown Prince, even though he was older than his half-brother Prince Imperial Yeong, due to various reasons including the status of his mother.
