Yeongjong Island is an island off the west coast of the city of Incheon and Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. The island is a part of Incheon Metropolitan City's Jong-gu district. It is an exclave of Jong-gu, as it can only be accessed by a bridge that connects to Seo-gu. It is best known as the home of the Incheon International Airport, built largely on reclaimed land between Yeongjong Island and Yongyu Island.
In addition to the airport, the island is known for Eulwangni Beach on the west coast, the Haesoopia Spa on the south, the seafood market and the Yongguksa Temple.
