Daehang-no (Korean대학로; lit. college street) is a area in Jongno District within Downtown Seoul.

Formerly known as Sunggyo-bang (숭교방; 崇敎坊; lit. high respect for teaching), it received its current name after the 1.1 km six lane road from Hyehwa-dong rotary to Ihwa-dong crossroad was designated as a "street of culture" on May 5, 1985.[citation needed]

Daehang-no is the street from the crossroad of 79–1, Jongno 5-ga, Jongno District, to Hyehwa-dong rotary, 132, Hyehwa-dong.[citation needed]
