Ch'ŏllima is a kuyŏk in Namp'o Special City, North Korea. Prior to 2004, it was Ch'ŏllima-kuyok, a district of northeastern Namp'o Directly Governed City. Following the demotion of Namp'o in 2004, Ch'ŏllima became an independent county. The region was part of Kangsŏ county in 1952, and was entered into Taean city; when Taean was demoted to county in 1983, it became part of Namp'o Special City.
Ch'ŏllima-guyŏk is divided into 17 tong (neighbourhoods) and 1 ri (village):
There are numerous irownworks and related factories in Ch'ŏllima. The metalworking industry became active in the area during the period of Japanese rule in the early 20th century.
Ch'ŏllima stretches along the Taedong River, which provides a convenient route for transportation by ground and water. Frequent ferries connect the county to P'yŏngyang and Songrim. The Youth Hero Motorway also passes through the county, as does the P'yŏngnam line of the Korean State Railway.
