Naksansa bronze bell is a temple bronze bell of Naksansa. It was made by Yejong of Joseon in 1469. It was designated as a national treasure of Korea.

In the 5 April 2005 forest fire, it was melted and destroyed. The remains of the bell were kept at the Korean National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage.[1]

The Cultural Heritage Administration withdrew it as a national treasure due to its destruction.[2]

In 2006, a replicate of the bell was created and installed back in Naksansa.[1]
