P'an'gyo County is a kun, or county, in Kangwŏn province, North Korea. In December 1952, during the Korean War, P'an'gyo was formed as a separate county from five myŏn (Nagyang, Pangjang, P'an'gyo, Ryongp'o, Sannae) of Ichŏn-gun and Yujin-myŏn of P'yŏnggang-gun. Myŏn were administrative units below county (kun) level and are no longer used in North Korea.
The land of P'an'gyo is predominantly mountainous, with the Ahobiryŏng Mountains and Masingryŏng Mountains both passing through the county. The highest point is Tongbaengnyŏnsan (Korean: 동백년산). The county's chief stream is the Rimjin River. Approximately 88% of the county's area is forestland.
P'an'gyo county is divided into 1 ŭp (town) and 22 ri (villages):
