The Stele of Lord Eom ()is a historical stone monument located in Samdong-myeon, Ulju County, Ulsan. On October 19, 1998, it was designated as Tangible Cultural Heritage Material No. 10 of Ulsan Metropolitan City. It was originally erected in October 1820 (the 20th year of King Sunjo's reign) to honor the unwavering loyalty of Eom Heung-do, a local official who risked his life to secretly recover and bury the body of the deposed King Danjong in 1457. Initially situated at the historic Wongang Seowon (Confucian Academy), both the academy and the stele were relocated to their present location in 1994 to accommodate the construction of the Onsan Industrial Complex.
