Pujŏn County (Pujŏn-kun) is a county in northern South Hamgyŏng province, North Korea.
In historical contexts, Pujŏn is sometimes known as Fusen, according to its Japanese pronunciation.
The Korean People's Revolutionary Army built a secret camp on Mount Okryon in Pujŏn in the 1930s. This area was home to revolutionary activities of Kim Jong-suk during the anti-Japanese struggle. Commemorating her activities the Pujŏn Revolutionary Battle Site has been designated.[2]
