The Mausoleum of King Kongmin, more correctly known as the Hyonjongnung Royal Tomb, is a 14th-century mausoleum located in Haeson Village, in the city of Kaesong, North Korea. It is one of the Royal Tombs of the Goryeo Dynasty.

The site consists of two separate burial mounds, "Hyonnung", which contain the remains of Gongmin, 31st king of the Goryeo Dynasty, and "Jongnung", which contains Queen Indeok, born the Mongolian princess Budashiri. Nominated for World Heritage status, it is one of the best preserved royal tombs in North Korea which remains in its original state, having avoided extensive restoration under the Communist government.
