The National People's Prefecture (Korean: 국민부, romanized: gugminbu) was an organization of the Korean independence movement group and a self-governing autonomous prefecture in Manchuria that Korean refugees populated in April 1929.

At the end of 1920, various anti-Japanese groups and corps in Dongsamseong, which did not surrender to the Japanese army's Gando Massacre and recovered, carried out anti-Japanese warfare externally with their affiliated independence forces while actively developing mutual integration movements internally. As a result, in August 1922, the Korean Unification Government was formed in southern Manchuria. On this basis, by March 1925, the three organizations of the General Staff Headquarters (參議府), the Righteous Government (正義府), and the Korean People's Association in Manchuria, which had been active in disparate ways in North and South Manchuria, were integrated into Heunggyeong (新賓縣), Sinbin-Hyeon, Liaoning Province. The three divisions established in this way have a dual character: an administrative agency that enforces the autonomy of the Korean community, which is the basis of the independence movement in Northeast China, and a military government agency that is in charge of command, training, and operations of the independence army. The National People's Prefecture's headquarters was established in Xingyeong.^[1][2]
