Tokchon is a si, or city, in northern South Pyongan province, North Korea. It is bordered by Yongwon and Maengsan to the east, Kujang to the north, Kaechon to the west and Pukchang to the south. It is home to the Sungri Motor Plant, established in 1950, and various other factories.

Satellite imagery shows the city covered in soot, with no noticeable human activity, suggesting that it is partially or entirely abandoned.
