Namdaemun (koreanska: 남대문; Hanja: 南大門, lit. 'South Great Gate'), officiellt känd som Sungnyemun (koreanska: 숭례문; Hanja: 崇禮門) är en av åtta stadsportar i Seouls stadsmur/fästning, som omgav staden under Joseon-dynastin. Den ligger i Jung-gu mellan Seoul Station och Seoul Plaza, med den historiska Namdaemun-marknaden bredvid porten.

Porten, som går tillbaka till 1300-talet, är en historisk port i pagodstil. Det var en gång en av de tre stora portarna genom Seouls stadsmurar som hade en stenbana på 18,2 kilometer (11,3 mi) och var upp till 6,1 meter (20 fot) hög. Den byggdes först under det sista året av kung Taejo av Joseons regeringstid 1398 och byggdes om 1447.

2008 skadades träpagoden på toppen av porten allvarligt av mordbrand. Restaureringsarbetet på porten startade i februari 2010 och avslutades den 29 april 2013. Porten öppnades igen den 4 maj 2013.

Namdaemun (Korean: 남대문; Hanja: 南大門, lit. 'South Great Gate'), officially known as the Sungnyemun (Korean: 숭례문; Hanja: 崇禮門, lit. 'Honoring Propriety Gate'), is one of the Eight Gates in the Fortress Wall of Seoul, South Korea, which surrounded the city in the Joseon dynasty. It is located in Jung-gu between Seoul Station and Seoul Plaza, with the historic 24-hour Namdaemun Market next to the gate.

The gate, dating back to the 14th century, is a historic pagoda-style gateway, and is designated as the first National Treasure of South Korea. It was once one of the three major gateways through Seoul's city walls which had a stone circuit of 18.2 kilometres (11.3 mi) and stood up to 6.1 metres (20 ft) high. It was first built in the last year of King Taejo of Joseon's reign in 1398, and rebuilt in 1447.

In 2008, the wooden pagoda atop the gate was severely damaged by arson. Restoration work on the gateway started in February 2010 and was completed on 29 April 2013. The gate was reopened on 4 May 2013.
