Huigang of Silla (died 838; r. 836–838) was the 43rd ruler of the Korean kingdom of Silla. He was the grandson of King Wonseong and the son of ichan [ko] Kim Heon-jeong by Lady Podo. He married Lady Munmok, who was the daughter of daeachan [ko]^[1] Chunggong.^[2]

After the death of King Heungdeok in 836, Huigang and his uncle (Heungdeok's younger cousin) Kim Gyunjeong struggled for power.^[3] After Kim Myeong (who later became King Minae) killed Kim, Huigang rose to the throne.^[4]

Huigang made Kim Myeong his Sangdaedeung,^[5] but the next year Kim rebelled against him.^[6] Huigang killed himself, and was buried on Sosan mountain in Gyeongju.^[7]
