Queen Sado of the Park clan (Korean: 사도왕후 박씨; Hanja: 思道王后 朴氏; ? – February 614) was a Queen Consort of Silla as the spouse of king King Jinheung of Silla, and the mother of his successor, King Jinji of Silla. According to the disputed text Hwarang Segi, she was regent during the minority of her grandson King Jinpyeong in 579-584, but her regency is not mentioned in the historical texts Samguk sagi or Samguk yusa. She later became a Buddhist nun under the name Myobeop (묘법; 妙法).
