King Saban of Baekje (r. 234) was the 7th king of the Korean kingdom of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. The eldest son of King Gusu, after his accession he was found to be too young to rule. He was quickly supplanted by King Goi, the younger brother of King Chogo.
We do not know anything of the birth, death or later life of King Saban. However, he is recorded in some Japanese chronicles, including Shinsen Shojiroku , as the progenitor of certain clans of Yamato Japan. This may indicate that he spent the later part of his life in that country.
