Sosu Seowon (Korean: 소수서원; Hanja: 紹修書院) is a Joseon-era seowon (private Neo-Confucian academy), now located in Sunheung-myeon, Yeongju, South Korea. It is the oldest extant seowon in Korea. It was founded by Chu Sebung (1495–1554), then the magistrate of Pungseong County.
Sosu Seowon was one of 47 seowons that survived from the Seowon Abolishment by Heungseon Daewongun Regent in 1871.
