Yŏngŭnmun (Korean: 영은문; Hanja: 迎恩門) or Yeongeunmun Gate was a Joseon-era gate near present day Seoul, South Korea. Since it was a symbol of China's diplomatic influence on Joseon, the Enlightenment Party of the Joseon government intentionally demolished it in February 1895, seeking complete political independence of Joseon from China.
