Donuimun (), sometimes called the West Gate or Seodaemun (), was one of the Eight Gates of Seoul in Seoul, South Korea. The gate served as the western opening to the Fortress Wall that surrounded the city during the Joseon period.
It was originally built in 1396, destroyed during the 16th century, and then rebuilt in 1711. However, it was again destroyed in 1915, during the Japanese occupation of Korea, and has not since been rebuilt.
