The Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea (UAWK; or Korean Federation of Agricultural Workers) is a trade union and mass organization for agricultural workers in North Korea. It is one of the most important mass organizations in the country. UAWK was founded in 1946 and reformed in 1965 along the lines of North Korean leader Kim Il-sung's landmark Theses on the Socialist Rural Question in Our Country. The organization is a member of the popular front Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland and is directly controlled by the Central Committee of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea.
UAWK educates its 1.6 million members – farmers as well as office workers and manual laborers in the farming sector – on agricultural issues. Additionally, the organization educates on ideological matters, including Juche. The current chairman is Han Jong-hyok.
