Oryukdo () is group of islands in Busan Bay, in Yongho-dong, Nam District, Busan, South Korea. The name of the islands reflects the fact that they can consist of either five or six islands, depending on the current tides.
The island closest to the mainland, Usakdo (), can appear to be two separate islands during high tide, which are named Bangpaeseom () and Solseom (). The remaining islands are, in order from closest to the mainland, Suriseom (), Songgotseom (), Gulseom (), and Deungdaeseom (). All islands are uninhabited, except for Deungdaeseom, which has a lighthouse on it.
