Muju County (Muju-gun) is a county in North Jeolla Province (Jeollabuk-do), South Korea. It is divided geographically into two regions by the Sobaek Mountains. Muju is a popular destination for winter recreation.

Muju-eup hosted the 1997 Winter Universiade.

Muju was considered by South Korean Olympic Committee to compete for the right to host 2014 Winter Olympics. However, the International Ski Federation announced that Muju will not be able to host such an event, and Pyeongchang entered the competition as the South Korean candidate city for 2014.
