Yi-kyung, also spelled Lee-kyung, is a Korean feminine given name. Due to North–South differences in the Korean language, in North Korea some of these names start with an "r" (ㄹ) in both spoken and written form, which does not occur in word-initial position in Korean as spoken in the South. There are 35 hanja with the reading "yi", 26 hanja with the reading "ri", and 54 hanja with the reading "kyung" on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be registered for use in given names.

People with this name include:

  • Chun Lee-kyung (born 1976), South Korean short track speed skater
  • Kwak Yi-kyong (born 1979), South Korean LGBT rights activist
  • Lee Yi-kyung (born 1989), South Korean male actor
  • Woo Yi-kyung (우이경; born 1987), South Korean pop singer
  • Fictional characters with this name include:

  • Han Yi-kyung, in 2005 South Korean television series Only You
  • Han Yi-kyung, in 2007 South Korean television series Air City
