Kyŏnghŭng County is a kun, or county, in North Hamgyong province, North Korea. Formerly known as Ŭndŏk County (Korean: 은덕군; Hancha: 恩德郡), from 1977 to 2010.

The highest point is Songjinsan, which is 1,146 m (3,760 ft). The dominant river is the Tumen, which separates the county from China. The level ground along the Tumen is developed, but approximately 80% of the county is forested.
