Gongneung-dong () is a dong (neighborhood) of Nowon District, Seoul, South Korea.
Overview The name was formed by combining "Gong" (공) from Gongdeok-ri and "Neung" (릉) from Taereung, a term also used for the surrounding area. In 1963, when Gongdeok-ri of Yangju County, Gyeonggi Province, was incorporated into Seoul, the name Taereung-dong was proposed to avoid confusion with Gongdeok-dong in Mapo-gu. Following opposition from local residents, the name was changed to Gongneung-dong in 1970.
