The South Korean national ice hockey team (Korean: 대한민국 아이스하키 국가대표팀) is the national men's ice hockey team of the Republic of Korea (South Korea).

They competed in their first Winter Olympics in 2018 in Pyeongchang as the host nation.

South Korea first participated in the World Championship in 1979, playing in Pool C, the third level of the tournament.

Upon being named the host country for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, the South Korean team began efforts to steadily improve themselves in order to be competitive with the other teams expected at the tournament, led by the efforts of Korea Ice Hockey Association president Chung Mong-won.
