Mangyongdae ({{Korean|hangul=만경대}}) is a neighborhood in Mangyongdae-guyok, Pyongyang, North Korea. North Korean propaganda claims Mangyongdae is the birthplace of North Korean leader Kim Il Sung, although in his memoirs he wrote that he had been born in the nearby neighborhood of Chilgol. Mangyongdae is where his father Kim Hyong-jik was from, and where Kim Il Sung spent his childhood.{{sfn|Hoare|2012|p=257}}

Mangyongdae has been designated as a historic site since 1947, and is listed as a Revolutionary Site.{{sfn|Corfield|2014|p=120}}{{cite book|last=Willoughby|first=Robert|title=The Bradt Travel Guide: North Korea|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-bHkI4cEc1QC&pg=PA125|edition=Second|date=15 November 2007|publisher=Bradt Travel Guides|location=Chalfont|isbn=978-1-84162-219-4|page=125}} Original structures at the site have been replaced with replicas.{{sfn|Hoare|2012|p=257}}
