The Korea Television and Radio Writers Association (KTRWA; Korean: 한국방송작가협회; Hanja: 韓國放送作家協會; lit. Korea Broadcasting Writers Association) is a labour union based in Seoul, South Korea. Members are screenwriter, playwrights, and journalists who work in radio, films, TV, and digital media. There are currently around 3,700 active members.[1]

The Association is an autonomous body, for writers and run by writers of South Korea. Members of KTRWA can register their scripts, screenplays and lyrics with the organisation, and seek recourse in case of a dispute. KTRWA has a legal officer on board and the dispute settlement committee handles cases pertaining to writers' rights regarding credit and payments.[2]

Chairman was selected every two years. In 2024, Jeong Jae-hong was elected as the 31st chairman of the Korea Broadcasting Writers Association.[3]
