Songpa-gu is a gu of Seoul, South Korea. It is located in the southeast of the city. Songpa-gu is home to the Lotte Hotel and Lotte World. The 1988 Summer Olympics took place in Songpa-gu. The Olympic Park and Olympic Sports Complex are still major attractions. Olympic related sculptures stretch between the two locations, intersected by the Lotte complex. A large farmer's market, called Garak Market (가락시장), is located in Garak-dong, in the center of Songpa-gu.

The geography of Songpa-gu is relatively flat throughout and administrators have attempted to make it Seoul's most bicycle friendly district. Nearly all sidewalks have bicycle lanes accompanied with international bicycle symbols or notifications.

"Dong" (primary division of "gu" in South Korea) of Songpa-gu includes Jamsil-dong, Jangji-dong, Samjeon-dong, Seokchon-dong, Garak-dong, Macheon-dong, Munjung-dong, Geoyeo-dong, Ogeum-dong, Bangi-dong, Sinchun-dong, Songpa-dong, Pungnap-dong, and Oryun-dong.
