Wanyan Yongji was the seventh of ten emperors of the Jin Dynasty. During his rule, the Mongols began heavy attacks on the Jin dynasty.

Wanyan Yongji was betrayed and killed by a marshal in the capital of Beijing; he was third and last of ten Jin emperors to be assassinated. After his death, he was posthumously demoted to his pre-reign title of Prince of Wei.
