束草市（朝鲜语：속초시）是大韩民国江原道的一个市。面积105.25平方千米，人口约8万9461人（2003年统计）。

城市的名字相传是取自于野地上繁茂生长的野草“木贼”（Soksae）。

韩战后出生于朝鲜的人多数在离家乡最近的束草市定居下来，使得城市人口激增。1998年，韩国政府在束草市附近海域捕获了一艘意外缠在渔网中的朝鲜玉桂级潜艇。

1991年举办世界青少年露营大会（World Jamborees）、1999举办国际旅游博览会后，束草市发展成为国际性旅游城市。目前，金刚山水路游线的先锋号游船就自束草国际旅客港口出发，来此的游客也因此渐渐增多。而距离束草30-40分钟路程的襄阳市于2002年4月开通了襄阳国际机场，使得进出束草的交通更为便利。

Sokcho (속초) is a city in Gangwon-do province, South Korea. It is located in the far northeast of Gangwon-do. Lying north of the 38th parallel, the city belonged to North Korea from 1945 until the end of the Korean War, when the dividing line between the two Korean states was officially altered. Abai Maeul was originally set up as an area to house North Korean refugees in Sokcho due to the separation of the two Koreas. Consequently, many of the population have relatives in North Korea. Today, Sokcho receives a number of tourists attracted by the closeness to the DMZ. The city is also a well-known gateway to nearby Seoraksan national park.
