Taewang, (태왕) meaning "The Most Highest King," was the title used by the rulers of Goguryeo (고구려), the northermost of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.

Goguryeo (37 BCE - 668) was ruled by the Taewangs, starting with Gwanggaeto Taewang, All Taewangs were members of the Go Royal Family. Goguryeo's 19th Taewang, Gwanggaeto Taewang greatly expanded Goguryeo's territory to more than twice the size of the Korean peninsula. The Taewangs remained completely independent of the ancient Chinese dynasties until the reign of Goguryeo's 27th Taewang, Yeongryu Taewang, who submitted to Tang Taizong, despite Goguryeo's victory over the Sui Dynasty. Goguryeo fell in 668, during the reign of Goguryeo's 28th ruler, Bojang Taewang.

After the fall of Goguryeo in 668, Anseung, a prince of Goguryeo, was made Taewang of Goguryeo-Guk, which was the result of the Goguryeo Revival movements.
