Seosan is a city in South Chungcheong Province, South Korea. It is located at 36°47′N, 126°27′E. It has a population of approximately 150,000.

Seosan has four distinct seasons. In spring, mild temperatures are accompanied by strong winds bearing dust from the Chinese mainland; this dust is called [hwangsa] (황사)or Asian Dust. In summer, the monsoon (jangma, 장마) lasts for about three weeks and is typified by heavy rainfall. As in the rest of Korea, Seosan may be affected by typhoons during the Summer, but fortunately there has been little damage to this city in the past. August is the hottest month and is humid. Fall begins in September and temperatures fall away quickly by November. The first winter snows usually appear in early December. The average annual temperature is 11.8 degrees celsius.

The famous Korean singer and actor Rain was born here. Another famous singer from Seosan is Star (별). Seosan is renowned for oysters and garlic. The historic Haemi castle (해미읍성) is located about 12km from the city, in Haemi-eup.
