Gyeryong is a city in southeastern South Chungcheong province, South Korea. The current mayor is Hong-Mook Choi. The city was created in 2003, by a split from Nonsan city, following prolonged local agitation.
Approximately half (47%) of the city's inhabitants are either serving in the South Korean army, or are family of service members. The city hosts several major Korean and international military conferences.
Gyeryong Mountain (Gyeryongsan: 계룡산), adjacent to the city, is considered the mountain with the most qi (spiritual energy) in Korea. It is also the heart of Gyeryong-san National Park.
