The Samsung Town (Korean: 삼성타운) is a major office park in Seocho-gu in Seoul, South Korea. It serves as the IT and electronics hub for the multinational corporation Samsung.

The building has a floor area of 110,800 m2 with 20,000 resident employees, and President Lee Kun-hee's office was located on the 42nd floor of Building C.[1]
