Nam Sago (Korean: 남사고, Hanja: 南師古, 1509–1571) was a scholar of the Joseon period of Korea. He was well versed in mechanics 역학(易學), geomancy 풍수(風水), astrology 천문(天文), divination 복서(卜筮) and physiognomy 관상(觀相). In a first part of his adult life, he lived as a wandering scholar, traveling to famous mountains all over the country to detect auspicious sites. Under the name of Gyeogam 격암(格庵), he became known for poems and prose with prophetic intents. In his later years he served as Professor of Astronomy (천문학 교수, rank 6b) at Gwansanggam (觀象監).
