Gyo-dong is a dong or neighborhood in the city of Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang province, South Korea. It is one of the legal dong under the jurisdiction of its administrative dong, Wolseong-dong. The name, Gyo-dong originates from the fact that the area once had a hyanggyo, a government-managed Confucian academy, during the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties. It belonged to Bunae-myeon, Gyeongju County during the late period of the Joseon Dynasty. Gyo-dong was variously called Hyanggyotgol, Gyochon or Gyori at the time.
