Pyeongtaek nongak (Korean: 평택농악) refers to nongak, or Korean farmer's music, that has been performed and handed down in the Pyeongtaek region of Gyeonggi Province.^[1]

There are five types of nongak in Korea: Wootdari (웃다리) nongak of Gyeonggi and Chungcheong, Left Jeolla nongak, Right Jeolla nongak, Southeastern Korea (Yeongnam) nongak, and Eastern Gangwon-do (Yeongdong) nongak. Each nongak has its unique representation of Korean culture and has been recognized as an important intangible cultural asset in each region.

It was designated as the eleventh asset of the Important Intangible Cultural Property by the South Korean government on December 1, 1985.^[1] Since then, there have been a lot of performances in and out of South Korea.
