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 612, at the Battle of Salsu (Salsu - the former name of the Cheongcheong River), the troops of the Korean kingdom of Goguryeo utterly defeated the Chinese army of the Sui Empire that had invaded Korea.

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