Jukdo is a small island adjacent to Ulleungdo, South Korea. It was formerly also known as "Jukseodo" (죽서도, 竹嶼島). It lies 2km east of Ulleungdo, and is the largest island in the group apart from Ulleungdo itself. In 2004, one family of three members were living on the island.

Administratively, Jukdo belongs to Jeodong-ri, Ulleung township, Ulleung County, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

One of the Chinese characters used to write the name "Jukseodo" ( _ko. 竹嶼島) is the same as those of "Takeshima" ( _ja. 竹島), the Japanese name for a different island, the Liancourt Rocks. Both mean "bamboo island."
