'''An Hyang''' ({{Korean|hangul=안향|hanja=安珦}}; 1243 – 12 September 1306), also known as An Yu ({{Korean|hangul=안유|hanja=安裕|labels=no}}), was a leading [[Korean Confucianism|Confucian]] scholar born in [[Yeongju]] in present-day [[South Korea]], and was from the [[Sunheung An clan]]. He is considered the founder of [[Neo-Confucianism]] in Korea, introducing Song Confucianism to the [[Goryeo]] kingdom. An Hyang visited [[China]], transcribing the works of [[Zhu Xi]] and bringing his copy and portraits of [[Confucius]] and [[Zhu Xi]] to Korea to use in his revitalization of Confucianism. He strove to replace [[Buddhism]] with Confucianism.
There is a portrait of him at the [[Sosu Seowon]], which was built as a memorial to the scholar.  There is also a statue of him on Banya-san in [[Nonsan]].
