Kim Chaek Iron & Steel Works is one of North Korea's largest steel mills. It is located in Songpyong-guyok, Chongjin, North Hamgyŏng Province. It was established by Nippon Steel during the Japanese occupation of Korea, and was subsequently nationalised after the establishment of the DPRK. In North Korea, this factory is called "The Big Metallurgic Base of the North (북방의 대야금기지)". It has fifty thousand employees.

The facility is served by the Korean State Railway via Songpyung Station.
