The TOPIK, or Test of Proficiency in Korean, is a test administered by the Korea Institute of Curriculum and Evaluation (KICE) to non-native Korean speakers to measure their knowledge of the Korean language. It is offered twice annually in many locations worldwide.

The test is divided into four parts: vocabulary & grammar, writing, listening, and reading. Each section is scored out of 100 points, for a total of 400 points. The final result is an average of all four sections. There is currently no oral section. A choice of 3 versions of the test are offered: beginner (초급), intermediate (중급), and advanced (고급).
