thumb|A page from Taehanjiji|alt= Taehanjiji () is an elementary school geography text about the Korean Empire by . Hyŏn Ch'ae wrote the book in 1899, translating and compiling Japanese and Korean sources. It was published by the company Kwangmunsa.
Taehanjiji was first published in 1899 and reprinted in 1901. It gave a summary description of late 19th century Korean geography with greater emphasis on physical geography. The written language conformed to the then innovative Gukhanmun Honyongche, one combining han'geul and hanja, and was popular for the relative ease of deciphering.
