Jilji of Geumgwan Gaya (died 492) (r. 451–492)[1] was the eighth ruler of Geumgwan Gaya, a Gaya state of ancient Korea. He was the son of King Chwihui and Queen Indeok. He married Queen Bangwon, who was the daughter of the Sagan Geumsang.

A passage in the Samguk Yusa indicates that he built a Buddhist temple for the ancestral queen Heo Hwang-ok on the spot where she and King Suro were married. He called the temple Wanghusa ("the Queen's temple") and provided it with ten gyeol of stipend land. The temple reportedly endured for five hundred years.[2]
