Queen Seongpyeong of the Jangheung Im clan (Korean: 성평왕후 임씨; Hanja: 成平王后 任氏; d. 1247) was a Goryeo royal family member and queen consort through her marriage with King Huijong as his second wife[1] and followed her maternal clans as a result.

In 1211 (7th year reign of her husband), she was given the Royal title Princess Hampyeong (함평궁주, 咸平宮主) and formally became the queen consort.[2] Together, they had 5 sons and 5 daughters. When her husband tried to shoot Choe Chung-heon (최충헌) at Suchang Palace (수창공), he was failed and forced to abdicated the throne as the result. Then, Huijong and their eldest son exiled to the nowadays of Incheon and she became the only left in the main palace, which believed that it was due to her close relatively with the next Kings, Gangjong and Gojong.
Upon the Goryeo-Mongol war broke out, the court moved the Palace and she later died without being able to leave Ganghwa-gyeong (강화경, 江華京) on 1247 (34th year reign of Gojong of Goryeo).
