Namsan (lit. "South Mountain") is a 262-meter peak in the Jung-gu district of south central Seoul, South Korea. The Seoul Tower is located on top of Namsan. It offers some hiking, recreation and views of downtown Seoul's skyline.

The mountain and surrounding area is a public park maintained by the city government. It is a popular spot from which to get a panoramic view of Seoul. It is also the location of a smoke signal station, which was part of an emergency communication system in early times.
