The South Korea national futsal team (Korean: 대한민국 풋살 국가대표팀, recognized as Korea Republic by FIFA) represents South Korea in international futsal and is governed by the Korea Football Association.

South Korea finished runners-up in inaugural AFC Futsal Asian Cup, but it lost its competitiveness in Asian futsal unlike in football due to lack of attention.[2] In 2024, the president of Korea Futsal League (FK-League Federation) claimed the vitalization of South Korean futsal could help South Korean football expand its base, while the country was suffering from low fertility.[2]
