An anchae () is a section of a Korean traditional house (hanok) that is reserved for women of the household. It can be composed of a number of rooms with different functions, including notably the anbang (), the innermost room reserved for the female head of the household. In smaller homes, the anchae may consist of just a single anbang and a kitchen.
The sarangchae and sarangbang are the male-oriented counterparts, and could be either connected to the anchae or anbang, or be a separate building altogether.
