The Chōsen Treaty Government, also known as the Korean Treaty Government, is a provisional government established in Korea (Chōsen) to serve as a temporary form of leadership for eventual Korean autonomy under the Empire of Japan. However, due to the onset of the Korean Civil War, it has served as a warring faction, presently fighting the nationalist forces in the south and north known as the Korean Provisional Government and Korean National People's Committee, respectively, as well as communist forces in the northwest known as the Korean Central Revolutionary Government.

Formed at the end of the Fourth Sino-Japanese War, the Treaty of Taipei (2019) mandated that Korea was to eventually become an autonomous state, and Japan was permitted to oversee the transition process. A political selection committee was formed to elect the members of the Japanese-Korean Administral Transition Committee, or Treaty Council, as the leadership body was known. Susumu Ikeda, also known as Jee Man-won, was elected President of the Council by the selection committee.
Massive unrest spurned by the outbreak of the Japanese Civil War in 2021 caused violence greater than that found in the Jeolla Uprising, as the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and People's General Uprising Struggle Headquarters called upon President Ikeda to resign. This caused greater violence to break out in the peninsula, eventually leading to civil conflict. The Treaty Government presently controls an area from Seoul (Keijō) to Busan (Fuzan).
