*''Born: [[1808]]''
*''Died: [[1890]]''
*''Other Names'': 趙大妃 ''(Queen Dowager Cho)''
*''Korean'': 神貞王后 ''(Queen Sinjeong)''

Queen Sinjeong was a Queen Dowager of [[Joseon]] Dynasty Korea, the wife of [[Crown Prince Hyo-myeong]], and mother of [[King Heonjong]].

Following her death in [[1890]], the [[Qing Dynasty|Qing]] court organized a formal mission to [[Seoul]] to express condolences on behalf of the Qing Emperor. The Korean court made efforts to oppose and delay the sending of this mission for many months, however, seeing it (likely quite correctly) as an effort by the Qing to send a message to the international community (i.e. the Western powers) as to Qing claims to suzerainty over Korea.
