Rungra Islet is an islet in Pyongyang, North Korea, located in the middle of the Taedong River. Its total area is 1.3 square kilometres (0.50 sq mi). The Chongryu Bridge on the north side and the Rungra Bridge on the south side connect the islet to the rest of Pyongyang.[1] The islet is a good place to see some of the Eight Views of Pyongyang.[2]

Recreational facilities on the islet include the Rungrado 1st of May Stadium. The Rungra People's Pleasure Ground is also scheduled to be opened there in 2012; it includes a dolphin exhibit, volleyball and basketball courts, and a wading pool.[3]
