The KTX-Sancheon (Korean: KTX-산천; Hanja: KTX-山川, formerly called the KTX-II) is a South Korean high-speed train built by Hyundai Rotem and operated by Korail and SR Corporation. With the maximum operational speed of 305 km/h (189.5 mph), the KTX-Sancheon is the second commercial high-speed train operated in South Korea, as well as the country's first domestically developed high-speed train in commercial service.

The KTX-Sancheon can be divided into four classes: Classes 110000 and 140000 which are owned and operated by Korail, Class 120000 which is owned by Korail but leased to SR Corporation for operation, and Class 130000 which is owned and operated by SR Corporation.
