Yŏnggwang Station is a station on the Mangyongdae Line of the Pyongyang Metro.[1]

Before the rules were relaxed in 2010, it was one of the only two stations that tourists could visit, the other one being Puhung Station. These two stations are the most finely decorated in the system, to cater to tourists, and also were the last two to be completed.[2] The station features murals on either side of the tunnel, 80 metres (260 ft) long each.[2]
