Sŏngjusa () was a Baekje-era Buddhist temple in Boryeong, South Chungcheong Province, South Korea.
According to the Samguk sagi, the temple was built by King Beop around 600 and played a critical role as one of the nine mountain schools during the North South States Period. Much of it was destroyed during the 1592–1598 Imjin War. However, stele accompanying pagoda of Buddhist priest Nanghyehwasang still remains including pieces of Buddhist statue of Baekje and several roof tiles in the era of Unified Silla. The stele is registered as the national treasure of South Korea in the present time. The pagoda cherished the most fabulous architectural style with magnificent scale during Unified Silla.
