Dongnae District (Korean: 동래구; RR: Dongnae-gu) is a gu (district) in central Busan, South Korea.

It has a population of about 300,000, and an area of 16.7 square kilometers. It was once a separate city, the principal port of southeastern Korea. Numerous historical relics are preserved in the area.

Dongnae District is divided into seven legal dong, which altogether comprise 14 administrative dong, as follows:
