Seongbuk-dong is a dong, neighbourhood of Seongbuk-gu in Seoul, South Korea.
Seongbuk-dong is an attractive village to the north of Seoul, nestled in the hills overlooking the city. A large proportion of the residences are owned by wealthy households.

A significant proportion of the village population is made up by foreigners - or foreigners married to Koreans.
