The People's Committee of North Korea (Korean: 북조선인민위원회) was a provisional government governing the Northern portion of the Korean Peninsula from 1947 until 1948.
Established on 21 February 1947 as the successor of the de facto provisional government of the Provisional People's Committee of North Korea, the provisional government was pro-Soviet and ideologically communist. It functioned alongside the Soviet Civil Administration, which served in an advisory role to the provisional government. The committee oversaw the transition from Soviet occupation in northern Korea to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which was established on 10 July 1948.
