Kaep'ung-guyŏk is a ward in Kaesong, North Korea. Formerly part of the Kaesong urban area, the county was merged with North Hwanghae when Kaesong was demoted in 2003. However, it was returned to Kaesong Special City in October 2019.
The area is the site of the royal tombs of King Kongmin and King Taejo of the Goryeo dynasty. Actor O Yeong-su, who played Oh Il-nam in the television series Squid Game, was born here.
The county is divided into 2 tong (neighbourhoods) and 14 ri (villages).
Kaep'ung is served by Kaep'ung and Ryohyŏn stations of the Korean State Railway. These are both on the P'yŏngbu line.
