Central Asia Street (Korean: 중앙아시아거리) is the nickname for an area in Gwanghui-dong, Jung District, Seoul, South Korea. It is so named because of the relatively high density of Central Asia-themed businesses in the area.[1][2] In addition to its population of foreigners of non-Korean ethnicity, the area also has a notable population of Koryo-saram; ethnic Koreans from the former Soviet Union.[2] The area reportedly formerly went by the name Little Moscow.

Cyrllic, a script used for many Central Asian and Slavic languages, can be widely seen in the area. The ground level of the street has a number of restaurants and bars that specialize in Central Asian and Russian food and drinks, including kebabs and vodka. Along the main entrance to the street is a 10-story building known as "Mongolian Town".[1] In addition to stores and restaurants, many of the establishments cater to the needs of the locals, such as banks, hair salons, and job agencies.[3]

The area is near the Dongdaemun History & Culture Park station and the park the station is named after.[3]
