  • Compiled: 1424-1451
  • Korean: 高麗史 (Goryeosa / Koryŏsa)

The Goryeosa or Koryŏsa (lit. "History of Goryeo") is the official history of the Goryeo dynasty of Korea, produced from 1424 to 1451 by the royal court of Joseon, the successor to Goryeo.

The text is significant not only as a resource for Korean history, but for East Asian history more broadly. It may contain the earliest documentary references to waegu (J: wakô, lit. "Japanese pirates"),[1] as well as perhaps the earliest documentary references to the Ryukyuan kingdom of Chûzan's tributary status in relation to the Ming Empire.[2]

Joseon court official Kim Jong-seo was among the compilers.[3]
