Geup (급) is a Korean term used in martial arts, baduk, and in other similar activities to designate various degrees, levels of proficiency, or experience. Geup is often informally transliterated as gup or kup.

Geup-level practitioners usually hold the ranks below black belt or 1st dan rank. In Korean martial arts, different coloured belts and uniform trim are used to mark geup grades.
