Gyo-dong is a dong or neighborhood in the city of Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang province, South Korea.
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.
