ThePeople's Committee of North Korea (Korean: 북조선인민위원회) was a provisional government governing the Northern portion of theKorean Peninsula from 1947 until 1948.

Established on 21 February 1947 as the successor of the de facto provisional government of theProvisional People's Committee of North Korea, the provisional government was pro-Soviet and ideologically communist. It functioned alongside theSoviet Civil Administration, which served in an advisory role to the provisional government. The committee oversaw the transition from Soviet occupation in northern Korea to theDemocratic People’s Republic of Korea, which was established on 9 September 1948.

The People's Committee of North Korea was organized during the first session of thePeople's Assembly of North Korea held on 21–22 February 1947. The session decided to transfer the power of theProvisional People's Committee of North Korea to the People's Committee of North Korea, and electedKim Il Sung as its chairman based on the proposal of theDemocratic National United Front headChoe Yong-gon.

The People's Assembly gave authorization to Kim Il Sung to organize the People's Committee.

TheDemocratic People's Republic of Korea was proclaimed on September 9, 1948, effectively dissolving the provisional government. Soviet forces departed from North Korea in 1948.
