Geumjeong District () is a district in north central Busan, South Korea. Approximately 7.3% of Busan's population is in Geumjeong District.

The district's population is concentrated in the valley of the Oncheoncheon stream, a tributary of the Suyeonggang. Notable landmarks include Beomeosa, a Buddhist temple dating to the Silla dynasty, and Geumjeongsan, the mountain which overlooks much of the district.
