Anapji is an artificial pond in Gyeongju National Park, South Korea. It was part of the palace complex of ancient Silla (57 BCE - 935 CE). It was constructed by order of King Munmu in 674 CE. The pond is situated at the northeast edge of the Banwolseong palace site, in central Gyeongju. It contains three small islands.

After the fall of Silla, the pond fell into disrepair for many centuries. The Donghae Nambu Line railroad was constructed along the edge of the pond in the early 20th century. The pond was dredged and re-built in 1974, as part of a general program of restoration and excavation of Gyeongju-area relics. A large number of relics were retrieved from the pond, many of which are now exhibited in a special gallery of the Gyeongju National Museum.
