Seogyo-dong () is a dong (neighbourhood) of Mapo District, Seoul, South Korea.
Overview Seogyo-dong was named after a stream that once flowed down from the valley of Yeonhui-dong and branched out in several directions in this area. Many small bridges were built over it, and the village came to be called "Jandari Village" ("many bridges").
Because Seogyo-dong is located slightly lower than Donggyo-dong, it was referred to as "Lower Jandari," while Donggyo-dong was called "Upper Jandari." The term "West Jandari" was shortened to "Seosegyori" (西細橋里), and from this name the modern name "Seogyo-dong" originated.
Education Seogyo Elementary School is located in Seogyo-dong.
