Daegaya

Daegaya () was a city-state in the Gaya confederacy during the Korean Three Kingdoms period. Daegaya was located in present-day Goryeong County, in North Gyeongsang Province of South Korea. (It should not be confused with Goryeong Gaya, which was located around present-day Sangju.)

According to "Geographies" in the Samguk sagi, Daegaya existed for about 520 years from the first king, Ijinasi (), to the last, Doseolji (). Daegaya had sixteen kings from King Ijinasi to King Doseolji, but only five of those are known. The first king was Ijinasi, the ninth king Inoe, the sixteenth king Doseolji, and King Haji, whose generation is uncertain. King Haji () sent an embassy to Namje (南齊, in Southern Qi) in 479. According to Chinese records, he received a rank of the third order, one rank below Baekje and Silla.
