Nam District, Gwangju

Nam District () is the southern district of Gwangju, South Korea.

Among Gwangju's five districts, it has a relatively short history. It was established in 1995 after being separated from the Seo District, and a month later, it absorbed the Daechon Subdistrict Office from the Gwangsan District. As its name suggests, it is located in the southern part of Gwangju. To the east, it borders Dong District; to the northwest, it connects with Seo District; and at its westernmost points—Hwajang-dong, Yangchon-dong, and Seungchon-dong—it meets Gwangsan District. While it does not directly border Buk District, it faces it across Seo District's Yang-dong. To the south, it borders Nampyeong-eup in Naju, Jeollanam-do, serving as one of the gateways to Naju. In the 2000s, the Chilgujae Tunnel was constructed in Nodae-dong, creating a direct route to Hwasun County.

However, with the city's ongoing expansion, the urban center has shifted, leading to urban hollowing in this district, similar to Dong District.
