Samjiyŏn, or Samjiyŏn-kun, is a district in Ryanggang province, North Korea. It has its own airport. It takes its name from three lakes in the county, which are known as the Samjiyŏn. Samjiyon is situated near Mount Baekdu, and tour groups fly to the district's airport to see the fabled mountain.

Many houses and buildings in Samjiyon have been recently upgraded, and many new buildings, including a recreational centre for youths, were finished in 2005. Popular activities in Samjiyon are skiing and various activities for schoolchildren, who use the surrounding area of Mt. Paektu for various scouting-like operations in conjunction with school-led vacations or outings.

In 2005, the airport was closed due to major renovations, which were partially underwritten by the Hyundai corporation.Fact|date=February 2007
