Geumosan (Korean금오산) is a mountain of North Gyeongsang Province, eastern South Korea. It has an elevation of 977 metres.[1]

It is notably connected to South Korean president Park Chung Hee, as Park's birthplace is to its immediate east.[2] A number of monuments (with some having been defaced due to Park's controversial legacy) to Park exist on the mountain.[3]
