*''Chinese'': 帶方郡 ''(Taifang-jun; Daifang-jun)''
Taifang prefecture, or commandery, was a political or administrative region within the late [[Han Dynasty|Han Empire]]. Located on the Korean peninsula, its administrative capital was located near modern-day Seoul.
Taifang is of particular relevance to Japanese history in that the kingdom of [[Wa]] is first described in the History of [[Wei Dynasty|Wei]] as being located to the southeast of Taifang.
