The Yongin Wangsanli Jiseongmyo are two Bronze Age megalithic dolmens in Mohyeon-eup, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, designated as Gyeonggi-do Monument No. 22 in 1974. They are the largest and best-preserved dolmens in Gyeonggi-do province. The principal dolmen features a capstone measuring 5.5 metres long, 4.4 metres wide, and 1 metre thick, supported by three upright stones averaging 80 cm in height. Though twelve dolmens have been found in the Wangsanli area, only these two have been examined in depth.
