The Independence Association (Korean독립협회; Hanja獨立協會) was an organization that advocated for Korean independence. It operated between July 2, 1896 and December 25, 1898, and was founded and led by the prominent Korean independence activist Soh Jaipil.

The group advocated for numerous reforms for both government and society, including democracy, public education, journalism, and language reform. The group also published a newspaper:Tongnip Sinmun ("The Independent").

Its advocacy for reforming the government into a constitutional monarchy brought it into conflict with the Korean monarch Gojong as well as conservatives in the court. The club was eventually ordered to disband in December 1898.
