Mokho (Korean: 목호, Hanja: 牧胡, lit. "herding hu [Korean term for Mongols]") is the local term for Mongol ranchers dispatched to Jeju Island to manage horse ranches called amag (Hanja: 阿莫) during the Yuan dynasty in the 13th century. In Goryeo annals, these herders were also refered to as daldal mokho (Korean: 달달목자, Hanja: 達達牧子), daldan mokho (Korean: 달단목자, Hanja: 韃靼牧子), or tamna mokho (Korean: 탐라목자, Hanja: 耽羅牧子).

History
After the defeat of Goryeo's Sambyeolcho forces by the Mongol Empire, Jeju Island became reorganized as the Tamna Prefectures under Mongol administration.
