Sweet Home (Korean: 스위트 홈; RR: Seuwiteu Hom) is a South Korean webtoon written by Kim Carnby and illustrated by Hwang Young-chan. First published in Naver Webtoon, the webtoon ran for a total of 140 chapters plus 1 prologue from October 12, 2017, to July 2, 2020. It centers on a suicidal high school boy who, along with a group of fellow apartment residents, tries to survive a "monsterization" apocalypse (goemulhwa) where people turn into monsters that reflect their innermost, most desperate desires.

The webtoon is the second collaborative work by Kim and Hwang, the first being Bastard (2014–2016). As of January 2021, its official English version garnered 2.4 million subscribers and 15.2 million likes. A print version of Sweet Home was released since February 28, 2020 by Wisdom House. It has also been adapted into a Netflix series of the same name released on December 18, 2020. A prequel titled Shotgun Boy, written by Kim and illustrated by Hongpil with Hwang providing editorial supervision, was released in Naver Webtoon starting February 22, 2021.
