Ryūtōsan Shrine (龍頭山神社) was a Shinto shrine in Korea. It is the earliest shinto shrine in Korea^[1]^: 139 built by workers of the local Japan House trade office in 1678.^[2] Such shinto may have served a purpose of expressing and maintaining a Japanese identity outside of Japan, while the Japanese and Korean people lived relatively close during this period.^[3]

It was a Kotohira shrine dedicated to Ōmononushi and the protection of sailors.^[2] In addition it, alongside all other nationally ranked shinto shrines in Korea enshrined Amaterasu and Kunitama as a pair.^[1]^: 139

It was originally called Kotohira shrine (金刀比羅神社), before being renamed Ryūtōsan Shrine (龍頭山神社, Ryūtōsan Jinja).^[2]

It was destroyed after the liberation of Korea. Its former site is now part of Yongdusan Park.
