Jongju (Chŏngju-si) is city, in southern North Pyongan province, North Korea. Prior to 1994, it was designated as a county. The terrain is mostly level, but mountainous in the north. To the south lies the Jongju Plain, where the hills do not rise above 200 m. Jongju also includes approximately 10 islands in the Yellow Sea.
Some 40% of Jongju is covered by forestland; pine trees are especially frequent.
Local agriculture is dominated by orcharding and rice farming; the chestnuts of this region are especially famous. The city is served by both road and rail, with the Phyongui and Phyongbuk lines passing through.
The restored birthplace of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, founder of the Unification church, is located in this city.
