La Cantina (Korean: 라칸티나) is a historic Italian restaurant in Jung District, Seoul, South Korea. It is the oldest Italian restaurant in South Korea, having been founded in 1967. The restaurant was designated a Seoul Future Heritage site by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. The business was founded by Lee Jae-du (이재두). It has remained in the same location since its founding; its interior decoration has reportedly remained much the same since its founding. Initially, because Italian food ingredients were so uncommon in Seoul around the time of the restaurant's founding, it had to substitute ingredients that it could not find otherwise. For example, it reportedly used noodles similar to that of the Korean noodle dish kal-guksu in place of the Italian noodles linguine; eventually the restaurant made the food more authentic. In 1982, Lee's son Tae-hoon (이태훈) inherited the business; Tae-hoon fully took over operations after his father died in 2013. The restaurant had a branch in Gangnam District that closed in 1998, amidst the 1997 Asian financial crisis. In 2016, it was reported that the restaurant's employees were mostly long-time staff; the average age of the workers was in the 50s, and the youngest worker was in their mid-40s.

The restaurant was founded in 1939, and specializes in the ox bone soup dish gomtang. It is currently listed on the Michelin Guide as a Bib Gourmand restaurant. It is reportedly only open for lunch time, and closes whenever it runs out of food. The restaurant was founded by Ryu Chang-hui (류창희), the daughter of a wealthy family in Seoul. She handed the restaurant off to her friend's daughter-in-law, who in turn passed the restaurant onto Kim Hui-yeong (김희영) in 1968. Kim was reportedly preparing to hand the restaurant onto her daughter by 2008. The restaurant was originally located in Sunhwa-dong, but moved to Myeong-dong in June 2007. The restaurant reportedly frequently has famous customers. It was reportedly favored by South Korean leader Park Chung Hee and his wife Yuk Young-soo. According to the restaurant's owner, every South Korean president except for Roh Moo-hyun and Lee Myung-bak dined at the restaurant. The restaurant owners reportedly intentionally avoid opening more locations or franchising, in order to avoid diluting the taste or service. The restaurant was recognized by the Seoul Metropolitan Government as an "Oraegage", or a "Seoul Historical Store". The designation recognizes long-running businesses and provides resources to keep them in operation.

It was originally constructed in 1396 but destroyed many times by both war and fire. It was designated Bosingak by Emperor Gojong in 1895. In the Joseon Dynasty, this bell was at the center of the castle town. The bell was struck to announce the opening and closing of the four gates around Seoul. At 4 am and 10 pm the bell was struck 33 times and gates were opened and closed. It was used as a fire alarm as well. In modern times, the bell is rung only at midnight on New Year's Eve. Because of the massive number of people who attend this ceremony, Metro trains on Line 1 of the Seoul Subway do not stop at Jonggak Station on New Year's Eve.
