Intercity Train eXpress-Cheongchun abbreviated as ITX-Cheongchun (Korean: ITX-청춘) is a class of train operated by Korail, the national railroad of South Korea, introduced on February 28, 2012. ITX-Cheongchun is the successor of the Gyeongchun Line Mugunghwa-ho which operated until December 2010. It is the only Limited express in Korea, and offers services comparable to those in Japan. In fact, it is known to benchmark Japan's Limited express. Korea's first double-decker coach ran on this line. This train connects Seoul, Guri, Namyangju, Gapyeong and Chuncheon. ITX-Cheongchun trains have an average speed of 180 kilometers per hour.

After the abolition of the Gyeongchun Line Mugunghwa-ho, which ran until December 2010, the ITX-Cheongchun Limited express has been in service since February 28, 2012.

As of July 9, 2021, ITX Cheongchun operates 18 round trips weekdays, 30 round trips Saturdays, 27 round trips Sundays and public holidays. All trains operate on the Gyeongchun Line, Gyeongwon Line, and Jungang Line.
