Jangyu is a myeon in Gimhae, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea. It is the site of the new city of Jangyu. It is located in the historical Nakdong River valley of southern Korea, where part of the Gaya confederacy was once located before being absorbed into Silla, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.
Rapid development in this area in the form of housing construction began in the early 2000s in order to take pressure off the neighboring cities of Gimhae and Changwon, the provincial capital.
