The Later Three Kingdoms period (Korean: 후삼국시대; c. 890s – 936 AD)¹² of early medieval Korea was a partial revival of the old three kingdoms from 1st century BC to the 7th century.

The start and end dates of the Later Three Kingdoms era are loosely defined and differ across academic sources. Key events used as starting dates include the first major rebellions against Unified Silla (889),³⁴ the capture of Gwangju by Kyŏn Hwŏn and subsequent establishment of the Later Baekje state at Jeonju (892),⁵ and the proclamation of Later Baekje as a kingdom by Kyŏn Hwŏn (900).⁶ Two events mark the end of the Later Three Kingdoms: the surrender of Gyeongsun, the last Silla monarch, to Goryeo in 935 and the conquest of Later Baekje by Goryeo in 936.⁷⁸
