The Sŭnghori concentration camp is a labor camp for political prisoners which is said to have existed in North Korea, about 70 kilometers from Pyongyang.

Little is known about it as its inmates are considered 'irredeemables' and never released. Senghori is described by North Korean refugees and defectors as one of North Korea's most feared labor camps, where inmates live and work in terrible conditions.

Although North Korean defectors have spoken of it, it has been hard to verify the existence of this camp and others like it. The only verification of its existence has been satellite imagery produced of the area of where it is believed to exist showing buildings.
