An Hyang (Korean: 안향; Hanja: 安珦; 1243 – 12 September 1306), also known as An Yu (안유; 安裕), was a leading Confucian scholar born in Yeongju in present-day South Korea, and was from the Sunheung An clan.
He is considered the founder of Neo-Confucianism in Korea, introducing Song Confucianism to the Goryeo kingdom.
An Hyang visited China, transcribing the works of Zhu Xi and bringing his copy and portraits of Confucius and Zhu Xi to Korea to use in his revitalization of Confucianism.
There is a portrait of him at the Sosu Seowon, which was built as a memorial to the scholar.
