Gyo-dong is a "dong" or neighborhood in the city of Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang province, South Korea. It is one of "legal dong" under its "administrative dong", Wolseong-dong's jurisdiction. The name, Gyo-dong originates from the fact that the area has had a "hyanggyo", government-managed Confucian academies during the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties. It belonged to Bunae-myeon, Gyeongju County (Gyeongju-gun) during the late period of the Joseon Dynasty. Gyo-dong was variously called Hyanggyotgol, Gyochon or Gyori at the times.
Dorurang Mountain ("Dorurangsan") with a height of 95 meter lies across Gyo-dong, and nearby neighborhoods, Inwang-dong, and Tap-dong.
