Korean artists are creative practitioners from Korea, spanning traditional arts like calligraphy and ceramics to contemporary music, film, and visual arts.

The term has gained particular currency with the global rise of K-pop and Korean cinema: Korean artists dominated the international charts this year.

In art market contexts, it often refers specifically to visual artists from South Korea.
