Daeheungsa, sometimes called Daedunsa, is a head temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. It is located on the slopes of Duryun-san in Samsan-myeon, Haenam County, in the province of Jeollanam-do near the southern limit of South Korea. It is believed to date to the Three Kingdoms period, although no exact record of its founding has survived.
The temple is known as a historical center of Korean tea culture.
