The Korean Folk Village is a living museum type of tourist attraction (and local children's education) in the city of Yongin, a satellite city in the Seoul Metropolitan Area in the province of Gyeonggi in South Korea.

The Folk Village displays elements of traditional Korean life and culture with numerous replicas of traditional houses of the different social classes (peasant, landowner, yangban) from various regions.

The park also has a traditional street market, restaurants, and showcases of traditional wordworking and metalworking techniques. There are performances of traditional dances, equestrian skills, marriage ceremonies (see above) and recreational activities.
