The special law to redeem pro-Japanese collaborators' property is a special South Korean law that passed the South Korean National Assembly on December 8, 2005 and was enacted on December 29, 2005, which allows the South Korean government to confiscate properties and land of Korean collaborators (chinilpa) to the Japanese government during or shortly before Japanese colonization, or of their descendants.

The confiscated properties will be appropriated, with priority, for rewarding the Koreans who contributed to the independence of Korea from Japan.
