The Ch'ŏngch'ŏn is a river in North Korea having its source in the Rangrim Mountains of Chagang Province and emptying into the Yellow Sea at Sinanju.

The river flows past Myohyang-san and through the city of Anju, South P'yŏngan Province.

In November–December 1950, in the Battle of the Ch'ongch'on River, detachments of the Korean People's Army and Chinese volunteers won a major victory over the troops of the Americans and their allies during the Korean War.

The site includes the 800 hectares (2,000 acres) Mundok Nature Reserve.
