Mullae-dong (Korean: 문래동) is a dong (neighborhood) of Yeongdeungpo District, Seoul, South Korea. The name "Mullae" comes from the neighborhood's old name, "Moraet-mal (모랫말)," which means "Sandy Village" in Korean.

The neighborhood is most well known for its industrial factories. Because the neighborhood is one the least gentrified areas of Seoul a lot of factories— that manufacture a variety of goods from textile to steel— are present in the area. In fact, there is a street nicknamed "steel factory street" (철공소 거리) due to the abundancy of Metal fabrication factories.

Mullae-dong is also known for art. Numerous art studios in which art exhibitions are sporadically conducted, as well as metal sculptures and commercial graffiti,[citation needed] can be found around the neighborhood. The neighborhood contains Mullae Park, which was once a military base until the 1980s.

The population, as of 2021, is estimated to be 32,870.
