Seok Jobun (?-247) was the eleventh king of Silla (Jobun Isageum, r. 230-247). A grandson of Beolhyu Isageum, his father was Gol-jeong Galmunwang and his mother Lady Okmo, daughter of Gudo Galmunwang. As the younger cousin and son-in-law of Naehae Isageum, he succeeded him on the throne.
In 231 he made Ichan Seok U-ro grand general and annexed Gammun-guk; when the Wae invaded in 233 Uro burned their ships at Sado. In 236 King Aeumbu of Golbul-guk surrendered with his people and the land was made a county. He appointed Uro Seobulhan in 244, and Goguryeo invaded in 245.
His queen was Naehae's daughter Lady Aihye. His daughter Lady Myeongwon married Uro, and Lady Gwangmyeong later became queen of Michu Isageum. His younger brother Cheomhae Isageum succeeded him.
The son of Beolhyu Isageum's eldest son Gol-jeong, he was a cousin of Naehae Isageum. He took Naehae's daughter Lady Aihye as queen and gave his own daughter Lady Myeongwon to Naehae's son Uro, so the two Seok branches were tied by marriage.
He annexed Gammun-guk in 231, and when the Wae besieged Geumseong in 232 he took the field himself and killed or captured over a thousand. Golbul-guk surrendered in 236. Baekje invaded in 240 and Goguryeo in 245, the latter being the first Goguryeo invasion of Silla recorded in the Silla annals.
The location of his tomb is unknown.
His children include Lady Myeongwon (wife of Seok U-ro), Lady Gwangmyeong (queen of Michu Isageum), Seok Geol-suk and Seok Ji; his eldest son by a concubine was Yurye Isageum.
