Namyang Workers' District (남양로동자구) is a town in Onsong, North Hamgyong, North Korea. It lies on the Tumen River and opposite to the city of Tumen that stands in the Chinese bank of the river.

Most of the movement in the town is made by trucks and bicycles. The town is also served by Namyang Station on the Hambuk Line of the Korean State Railway.

Three bridges connect Namyang to Tumen across the river. In the north there is a modern four-lane vehicle bridge, with a smaller bridge for vehicles and pedestrians running parallel. An older, single-track railway bridge lies farther south and carries the Namyanggukkyong Line across the river.
