Yeongnyeongneung, Royal burial plot in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.

Yeongnyeongneung combines two royal tombs 700 metres apart in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province: Yeongneung (英陵) for King Sejong and Queen Soheon, and Yeongneung (寧陵) for King Hyojong and Queen Inseon. The first is a twin-mound burial, the earliest joint royal tomb of the Joseon dynasty; the second places the queen's mound below the king's. A narrow earth path links the two.

The complex was built during the Joseon Dynasty and forms part of a collection of 40 royal tombs scattered across 18 locations. It represents a significant example of dynastic burial practices and the architectural standards that defined that era.

The two tombs share the name Yeongneung but are written with different hanja, so Hyojong's tomb is often read as Nyeongneung to avoid confusion. Each stone official at Sejong's tomb is paired with a horse statue, and two stone tablets before the mound indicate that two souls rest there. The walkway between the tombs is open from mid-May to early October.

The grounds are easily traversable on foot with informative signage guiding visitors through different sections. Wearing comfortable shoes is advisable since the terrain is hilly and involves walking along several pathways.

The site earned UNESCO World Heritage status due to its exceptional preservation of the royal burial system. This recognition honors its importance as a masterwork of Korean tomb design and landscape planning.
