Korea Army Academy (Yeongcheon) or KAAY is a military academy of the Republic of Korea Army for the training of officer cadets. Commonly known as "Choongsungdae" (Template:Lang-ko, Hanja: 忠誠臺) as a reference to its loyalty and devotion to the country, it produces the largest number of junior officers in the Korean Army. The current Superintendent of the Academy is Major General Dalsoo Jang.

The main campus is located in Yeongcheon, a south district of Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea. Certain areas of the campus is open to the public on weekends. Visitors without South Korean citizenship must notify the Academy at least a week in advance to obtain permission for entry.
