Ogin-dong (Korean: 옥인동) is a dong (neighbourhood) of Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea. It is a legal dong (법정동; 法定洞), administered under its administrative dong (행정동; 行政洞), Hyoja-dong,[1][2] of which it covers the westernmost part, until the fortress wall of Inwangsan.
Ogin-dong belongs to Seochon, Seoul's "Western village" lying between Inwangsan and Gyeongbokgung, where traditional Korean houses known as hanok congregate with modern shops, cafes and galleries.[3]
Within its boundaries is Suseongdong Valley (수성동계곡; 水聲洞溪谷), located at the foot of Inwangsan, famous for its natural beauty since the Joseon era. It is now developed as a natural tourist attraction.[4][5][6]
