Among the various ALA-LC romanization systems is a romanization system for the Korean language. It was promulgated by and named for the American Library Association (ALA) and Library of Congress (LC). It was first published in 1997. It was significantly revised in 2009 and received a minor revision in 2025. It is based on the McCune–Reischauer (MR) romanization system, which was published in 1939. ALA-LC is meant for use in organizing and retrieving materials in libraries.
