Sejong Institute (Korean: 세종연구소; Hanja: 世宗硏究所) is a non-profit, independent organization for public interest and a think tank in South Korea, dedicated to developing strategies and policies in areas of foreign and security affairs and Korean unification, regional issues, and international political economy.
