Suseong District (Suseong-gu) is a gu, or district, in southeastern Daegu, South Korea. It is one of the more prosperous and high-density areas of Daegu, and is the site of the city's most extensive hagwon district.
Suseong-gu shares its eastern border with Gyeongsan city, and looks across the Sincheon stream at Nam-gu and Jung-gu towards the city center. To the north it meets Dong-gu and to the south it faces Dalseong-gun across the ridgeline of Yongjibong.
Attractions in the district include Yongjibong and Suseong Lake, as well as the Sincheon riverside park. The district enjoys close connections to both downtown Daegu and neighboring Gyeongsan.
