Laos–South Korea relations refer to the bilateral relations between Laos and South Korea. Formal diplomatic relations between the two countries began in 1974. After the Pathet Lao overthrew the Kingdom of Laos and established the Lao People's Democratic Republic, relations were severed for a time, and ties with South Korea were highly unfriendly. Diplomatic relations were restored in 1995, after which relations have developed positively. In some cases, countries that have established diplomatic relations with Laos but do not have an embassy there appoint their ambassador in South Korea as a non-resident ambassador to Laos.
