Lady Yi of the Jeonju Yi clan, posthumously honored as Princess Anui (Korean: 안의공주; Hanja: 安懿公主; 1269–?), was a Goryeo-born woman who became a part of the early Joseon Royal family member as the only daughter of Yi Haengni^[citation needed] and would become the paternal grandaunt of Yi Seonggye, its founder.[2]

After Joseon dynasty was established in 1392, her parents formally became a King (왕; 王) and Queen (왕비; 王妃)[3][4] while she herself posthumously honoured as Princess Anui on April 15, 1901 (5th year reign of Emperor Gojong of Korea).[5]

Their descendants continued to live in Yeongheung, Hamgyeong Province, Korea (now Geumya County, South Hamgyeong Province, North Korea).[7]
