Vice President of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (Korean: 조선민주주의인민공화국 부주석; Hanja: 朝鮮民主主義人民共和國 副主席) was a political position in North Korea established in 1972, and abolished after the death of Kim Il-sung during the reign of Kim Jong-il.

In 1972 the Presidency was established, and Kim Il-sung was elected to the position by the Supreme People's Assembly, the North Korean legislature, on 28 December 1972. The Vice Presidents were also elected by the Assembly.[1] The Vice Presidency has been left vacant since October 1997, when the Presidency was eternally reserved for Kim Il-sung.[2]
