Seokyeong University (SKU) is a private university in South Korea. The campus is located in 16-1 Jeongneung-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, South Korea.

Seokyeong University was established in October 1947 as Hankook University (한국대학) which was the first 4-year evening school in Korea. It had difficulties during and after the Korean War, and in 1955 the school foundation was succeeded by Kookjae Hakwon; the university was renamed Kookjae University (국제대학, lit. "International University"; not to be confused with present-day Kookje University in Pyeongtaek).

The university was succeeded by several foundations and in 1988 it moved to the present campus. In 1989 an independent and dedicated foundation was established for the university. In April 1992 the university was licensed as a full-fledged university, and in September 1992 it was renamed Seokyeong University. Since November 1998 the enrollment of the daytime students has been made larger than that of the evening students.^[1]
