Yangju (; ) is a city in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Yangju is located south of Dongducheon and north of Uijeongbu, not far from Seoul.

In the past, it was one region with Uijeongbu-si, Guri-si, Namyangju-si, Dongducheon-si, and some parts of Seoul, so the county office was located in Uijeongbu, which was the largest town in Yangju at the time and the center of all of Yangju, including the current Guri and Namyangju. Even after the separation of Uijeongbu-si in 1963, the county office remained in Uijeongbu city, and it was not until 2000 that it ended its life as Uijeongbu and moved to its current location near the site of the Yangju Mok government office, and when it was promoted to Yangju-si in 2003, it was given the title of city hall.
