Gilsangsa (Korean길상사; Hanja吉祥寺) is a Buddhist temple in Seongbuk-dong, Seongbuk District, Seoul, South Korea. The temple is of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. It was established on December 14, 1997,[1] and is located on the Samgaksan mountain.[2]

The temple is relatively new. It was established via a donation of 100 billion won from Kim Yeong-hwa.[2][3][better source needed] It has a seven-story stone pagoda.[3][unreliable source?] It participates in the Templestay program, where guests can participate in activities at the temple and experience Korean Buddhist culture.[2]

When the Mayor of Seoul Park Won-soon went missing, shortly before his 2020 suicide, his last mobile phone signal was near the temple.[4]
