Jabi (r. 458–479, died 479),[a] also known by his title Jabi Maripgan, was the 20th ruler of the Korean kingdom of Silla. He was the eldest son of King Nulji, and his mother was the daughter of King Silseong. He married the daughter of Kim Misaheun.

Music, which had begun spreading into Silla during his father's reign, had become a part of everyday life in Silla by Jabi's reign.[1]

In 474, Goguryeo launched a massive assault on Baekje, Silla's neighbor to the west. Jabi sent troops to aid Baekje, forming a historic alliance between the two kingdoms which lasted into the 6th century.

He is one of the candidates for the owner of the Gold Crown Tomb located in Gyeongju, ascribed as 'King Isaji (尒斯智王)'.[2]
