Daegu National University of Education, commonly abbreviated as Daegu-gyodae (Korean대구교대) in Korean, is one of the National Universities of Education which provides training courses for preliminary teachers in the public primary schools of South Korea.

Founded in 1950, DNUE was previously called Daegu Normal School. Its first president was Kim Young-gi (Korean김영기). In 1963, it was renamed Daegu Gyoyuk Dae. It concentrated on primary school education, not including secondary school courses. Its most recent name change was in 1993, when the school adopted the name it uses today. Nam Seung-in (Korean남승인) has been its president since 2011. About 85 instructors are employed by the university.
