Yeonje District (Korean연제구; RRYeonje-gu) is a gu in central Busan, South Korea. It has an area of 12.08 km2, and a population of about 220,000. Yeonje District was created in March 1995 following its separation from Dongnae District. Its name was formed by taking the first and last syllables of the names of its only 2 legal dong; Yeonsan-dong and Geoje-dong. Busan City Hall is located in Yeonje District.
