LG Telecom (Korean:LG텔레콤) is a South Korean telecommunications and mobile phone operator controlled by the LG Group, one of the country's largest chaebol.

LG Telecom became one of the first companies to launch a commercial 3G service using PCS technology. In 1997, this was followed up by launching the second PCS network, offering greatly increased data transmission speeds.

LG Telecom also offers a variety of mobile services. BankOn is one of the most popular Mobile Banking services in South Korea and MusicOn is an on-line music store.

In July 2006, the South Korean government has cancelled LG Telecom's business license for a W-CDMA wireless communications system after the company opted not to develop the technology. LG Telecom will instead continue investing and upgrading in its CDMA2000 EV-DO Rev. A network.
