Namsansinseong (Korean: 남산신성; Hanja: 南山新城) was a Silla-era Korean fortress located on the mountain Namsan in what is now Gyeongju, South Korea. On January 21, 1963, its location was made Historic Site of South Korea No. 22.[1][2]

According to the Samguk sagi, it was built in 591 (Korean calendar), during the reign of King Jinpyeong. It was significantly renovated in 679, during the reign of King Munmu.[1]

Its history is documented in 9 steles that have been discovered between 1935 and 1994.[1] Currently much of the fortress is in ruins; parts of the wall remain.[1][2]
