Jogyesan, or Mount Jogye, is a mountain of South Jeolla Province in southwestern South Korea. It has an elevation of 887 meters (2,910 ft).[1] It is the main attraction of Mount Jogye Provincial Park (조계산도립공원).

It takes its name from the namesake Jogye Order which founded a key monastery, Songgwangsa (송광사/松廣寺), therein.

Beside the Songgwangsa, Jogyesan is also home to Seonamsa, an important monastery of the Taego Order (태고종/太古宗), a splinter group of the Jogye.
