Subi-myeon is a rural township in Yeongyang County, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea. Located in the rugged northeastern portion of Yeongyang County, it is the largest of the county's six divisions, covering some 217.59 square kilometers. However, more than 90% of that area is unused by humans; the local population numbers only 2,016. Of these, 67% are members of farming households. These households are divided among 15 ri.
Local attractions include the site of a kiln from the 17th century, and a medicinal spring which is said to have cured the illness of Joseon Dynasty scholar Yakcheon Geum Hui-seong.
