The L-SAM (Long-range Surface-to-Air Missile; Korean: 장거리 지대공 미사일; RR: Janggeori Jidaegong Misail) is a South Korean long range surface-to-air missile developed by the Agency for Defense Development (ADD), Hanwha, and LIG Nex1. The performance levels are comparable to the American THAAD and the Israeli Arrow 2 and Arrow 3. L-SAM serves as a key system in South Korea's Korean Air and Missile Defense (KAMD).

The development of L-SAM Block 1 was officially completed in May 2024 and was declared fit for combat by the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA).
