Goi (died 286, r. 234–286) was the eighth king of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.

Background

He is recorded as the second son of the 4th king Gaeru and younger brother of the 5th king Chogo. Upon the death of the 6th king Gusu, Gusu's eldest son Saban became king, but proved to be too young to rule. Goi dethroned Saban and became king. The Samguk sagi records that "King Chogo's younger brother, who had the same mother, became king.". This is disputed because of the time differences. It is rather believed that his father was a collateral relative of Gaeru. He attacked Silla again in 272, 278 and 284. During the attack of 278 his troops surrounded the fortress of Goegok.

  • Brother: Buyeo Usu (扶餘優壽, ?–?) – the only record of him is in the Samguk sagi in 260 when he was appointed Minister of the Interior (內臣佐平, Naesin-jwa'pyeong).
  • Queens: daughter of the commander of Daifang Commandery, Gongsun Du (公孫度, ?–204).
  • Son: Buyeo Chaekgye (扶餘責稽, ?–298) – eldest son, 9th King of Baekje, Chaekgye of Baekje.
