The Nangong Clan (Hanzi: 南宮世家, Pinyin: Nangong Shijia, Hangul: 남궁세가, Romaja: Namkoong, Namkung, Namgung) occasionally appears in some Wuxia stories as a wealthy and powerful family of arrogant merchants, often counted as a member of the Five Great Clans.[1][2]

They are commonly associated with swordsmanship, which is not unusual for a martial arts group, considering how the sword is one of the common weapons in wuxia. A fun fact is that Nangong county was very famous for their martial artists during the Western Han dynasty, so that could potentially be where the inspiration comes from.[3]

Examples of Anhui Nangong Clan include:
