King Uija (의자왕, 義慈王) was the last king of Korea's Baekje kingdom. He ruled from 641 to 660, when his country was conquered by the armies of Silla and China's Tang Dynasty. He was the eldest son of King Mu.
After the fall of Baekje, Uija was sent into exile in China with one son and a handful of retainers. He died there in 678. Another son of his, Buyeo Pung, later attempted to restore his father's kingdom.
