Daegak Guksa (Hangul: 대각국사, Hanja: 大覺國師) (1055–1101) was a Korean Buddhist monk who founded the Cheontae school of Buddhism. Son of King Munjong of Goryeo. He lived at Ryongtongsa in Kaesong for much of his life and was buried there, where his tomb can be found today.

Guksa was his title (‘National Preceptor’); while Daegak was his posthumous Dharma name, meaning "Grand Enlightenment".
